It is.

We got about 14" of snow overnight.

Now the wind has to stop so a base can set or else all the fluffy snow will blow away. Once a base sets, we can get more snow and REALLY have fun.

This place would be shut down with 14" of snow. Actually make that 4" of snow most likely.

Are you kidding?

They close schools here if the forcast is for a light dusting

2" would cause schools to be closed for 3 days

...and DON'T even try to buy any bread or milk anytime after the first time the weather man mentions the possibility of snow on TV.

I almost got elbowed for a loaf of bread right before Wilma hit.

I let the 90 year old have it.

I planned it perfectly. 36hrs later salt all over the roads.

Today, snow all over the car. Not much but still.

Since we don't snow mobiles here, ya'll can keep the powder. It's fun for awhile but it gets old real quick driving on it.
