Well what do you expect?
For example my grandmother who is from Florida could give a shit less when there is a thunderstorm and will go outside for a walk fearlessly but is deathly allergic to snow.
I, who grew up in NYC am reasonably accepting of snow but deathly afraid of lightning. So you develop tolerance to your regional occurrences, and i know from experience that the amount of snow Ohio receives is monumental in comparison to New Jersey, especially near the shoreline.
