Something funny about my neck of the woods, when there is literally an inch or two of snow predicted, everyone goes nuts. They start hoarding, schools close (yay!), businesses close, they start putting salt on the roads, they all freak out. I hear people in the Northern states carry on with their business with several feet of snow! Forgive me if I'm astounded by this, but here it's a "severe winter storm" if 3 inches of snow fall.
This winter (2022) we had 3 snowstorms, that were the biggest in 30 years. In a row. The most we got was about half a foot of snow. I've lived here my whole life, and those were the biggest snow days that I've seen. I was surprised at how well they took it, they didn't freak out, just hunker down at home . The really funny thing is, it took a "severe winter storm" for them to want to stay at home. I say this because almost all my neighbors weren't too keen on COVID restrictions, if you know what I mean.
