A few years ago I had a job where my manager was in the Minneapolis area. I was there in January. I was IMPRESSED at how fast they got the snow off the roads. Talk about proactive and organized.

I lived in New England for a while and snow became a way of life. Now that I’m further south, it’s full on freak out with an inch of snow. Not exaggerating.
Schools close. Government offices have delayed openings. Friends try to discourage me from “going out in that storm.”

We've had tons of ice/freezing rain/sleet. I'd be thrilled with snow; at least you can get that out of the way. But ice doesn't really give you a fighting chance.

That good eh? It's been missing us completely here in New England and it's making me nervous - ice storm coming next.

Snow doesn't bother me much. Its when the high is -3 and feels like -30 that is not my idea of a good time.
