A toboggan to a southern person, is a snow hat/winter hat. y'know - the knit hat? I had a friend in NC who I worked with who had the opposite experience from you, Gustoferson.
He had a friend from NY who had come down to visit. He (the friend) was talking about using a toboggan to dig tunnels in the snow. My friend was thinking, and thought for a few years, on how in the world he was able to dig holes in the snow with a toboggan, he thought "what does he do, put it on his hands and dig???"
of all the regional terms, that one still amazes me.
