Different parts of the country like diff waxes?

Wouldn't different regions tend to have snow that "likes" certain kinds of glide and grip wax more than others?

Like, I've often heard people rave about Start Tar waxes. Here in mid-Michigan I think we have humid snow. ...Those waxes basically offer zero grip. They've never even worked for me. I keep one around for the nice smell.
