I'd like to echo what Clinre said. You are a wealth of information and I really appreciate that you go to the trouble to share your research with the rest of us.

Follks where I live in the Deep South have a totally different outlook on snow. One week recently we had snow forcast for a few hours for one day. The schools declared an impending disaster and dismissed classes for the following days; businesses closed and very somberly admonished the departing employees "be careful out there"; hospitals and clinics and doctors offices closed early and put out notices about not being at work for 3 days and last but not least these same folks hit the grocery stores and cleared the shelves! Snow shovels, blowers, generators...........you name it.....they bought it. Oh yeah. I left out the focasted snow amount..........less than .5".
It's all in the perspective. While growing up in Greece for 17 years I remember snow twice. The first time i was a toddler and, years later, my parents still talked about the 2-3 inches that fell and paralyzed the city for days!

The second time it was about 1/4", I was in high school and of course schools closed. I remember my friends and I wanted to make a snowball…we did…but it took the entire flat roof of my apartment building to do it. :p

After having lived with the mountains of snow up north for 40 years I was ready tor Florida and returning to the sane weather with which I frew up in Greece…subtropical like in Florida.

And that half inch would worry me too.

Thank you for sharing these links! You always come thru with the perfect info for us! These are invaluable!
It took years for me to get over. I had 2 major surgeries with extended hospitalizations within 6 months of each other. I couldn't think straight for 2 years. Just in time to go thru it again right before I started vaping & joined here in 2014. It's one reason I was so worried about building my own coils. I knew I wanted to do it, but was having a hard time getting the procedure & safety info into my head. Before it would have been a snap. I was so proud of myself that night in the Hang Out when everyone hald my hand while I did the first one.

I can definitely relate to that. I no longer learn new things easily. I can't even blame anesthesia. As a partial excuse, I do think most written instructions are written for people who already know how to do whatever it is that is being described.

They're written by people who think the end user can understand poor translations of initially incorrect instructions. So don't feel bad. :)

The night before last we had some freezing mist/rain. I was sitting here at my desk having my morning coffee and was hearing what sounded like small hail. I went outside and it was ice breaking off of the tree limbs. My dog hated it because small pieces of ice were dropping on her while she was trying to do her morning business. I'm a bad papa, I couldn't stop laughing at her growling at the ice dropping.

I remember that happening to our dog Julie many years ago. It really is pretty funny because they can't figure out what's happening. And poor Julie had such short legs that Mike would snow blow a big circular path for her to do her business. She'd end up barking and racing around on the path like it was a race track.

We got about 4" last night and then it rained on top of it so that snow is going to be very heavy to remove.

When I see snow closings (either the funny panics of our southern folks, or the slightly "realer" panics of my midwestern neighbors) it reminds me of the winter I spent at Michigan Tech ('61-'62) when they had 317" (that's 26 feet or 8 meters) of snow on the ground by March (when I quit school - they had more before the end of winter). For some examples check out these pics:
houghton michigan snow - Google Search (the results of a Google image search for [ houghton michigan snow ] )
Here's an example:

BTW, "normal" winter totals for Houghton are in the 200 inch range.

I agree. But I now have trouble focusing or consintrating on a subject. I used to read constantly. I always had a book or 2 in progress & always had 1 with me. Since the surgeries that stopped & makes me really sad.

Nononono! That is a nightmare. We are in the 30's for the next few days & are huddled down at home. I'm just glad I got home from pet sitting before the bottom fell out!.
