Perhaps, though in that case the east coast would be glowing much more as well. Maybe also Tennessee soil is just super good for digging + good amount of empty space

"Be careful of skidding through Mianus, it's slippery"
"Mianus really needs to get plowed" is the appropriate reaction to this weather iirc

How are all those state university systems considered "private employers"?
― Brad C., Sunday, 25 November 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link
I don't think this answers Brad's question, but
For the purposes of our analysis, we treated some state government employers like public universities as independent organizations, in keeping with how states frequently identify and compare company headcounts. Military bases were excluded from the list. In many cases, employee counts for the various colleges, laboratories, and medical centers falling under a single university system were combined. This was because these systems frequently attribute employees from the university and medical centers together. However, when a spokesperson from the medical centers or universities identified the organizations as distinct employers, they were counted separately.
