I love snow. I used to think that Seattle freaked out about snow. That's nothing compared to DC, and it's flat here! It's pretty funny watching the news.
definitely. every 3" of snow spells armageddeon around here. i enjoy the first day of snow, but it gets pretty old after that. i wish it would snow a ton and then magically disappear, leaving all the trails cold and dry.
you think 3" is bad here. go to new mexico. there 6" literally shuts down the whole state. they even close the interstates at that point (actually 4"). the only thing i saw removing snow was some tractors.
Fair enough. My school district didn't have busses after third grade so they could always get away with having school when other districts were closed. I remember not having school during an ice storm once, and then like 2 days in highschool because the state made us close down...our district was still planning on making us go lol. I remember being in like 4th grade walking home in 4 feet of snow from school. And I don't think syracuse university has canceled class in like 40 years...they even have their own backup power so if power is out in the city we can still go to class. Gotta love upstate New York. I am however jealous that you have no off season for biking, that would be nice.

My dads side of the family is from Watertown. He said when they were kids they would have to jump out of the second story windows into the snow sometimes because the snow was so high they couldnt open the front door. I like the snow, but that is a little much for me...although it does sound like a darn fun way to start a day when you are a kid.
