It gets cold and snows. So where is this supposed to be, more like the plains? Colorado?

No, it's certainly not the southeast and I don't think anyone ever suggested it was supposed to be. It's southwest-inspired, all the way.

There are no deserts in the southeast. It does snow in the southeast though...just not as much as the northeast.

@pearlbh you may want to fix your thread title. The southeast US are the two Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, etc. The southwest are Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, ect.

The southwest has been known to get snow in the past. In January or February 2020-21(can'tremember exactly when), Texas had a snow and ice storm. It was dubbed the "snowpocalypse."
