It's a reference stemming from conservative regions of the south, where the most frightening and powerful thing they can imagine is snow. To them, snow shuts down everything, takes control of their very lives, forcing them to hunker down with bottled water and canned goods until it goes away.

Its usually used in reference to young liberals who want to change the status quo.

Just to be clear.... are you're saying that young liberals are responsible for the coronavirus?  Or that young liberals don't feel the need to take precautions to the virus?

Gallows humor has been around since the time of gallows.  This is no different.

Exactly. I worked on a trading floor where thoughtless jokes about tragedies were the norm. We were young and kinda dumb.

I'm not sure this is correct.  I think it stems from the term "Special snowflake", meaning unique, delicate and mentally fragile.  Falls under the "participation prize" umbrella.  IE "Well, aren't you a special snowflake!" It is used to describe someone w weak emotional fortitude, someone who needs constant validation and positive reinforcement but is in actuality a giant vagina.

Here in North Carolina the first whiff of snow and the grocery stores sell out of milk and bread.  My wife and I joke about having "milk sandwiches".  But seriously, without road snow clearing equipment and people not knowing how to drive in the snow, it is much better to just take a snow day and make some hot coco and relax at home.
