    We were spoiled here from 2004-2009. Hardly much snow at all and temps weren't so bad. Then last year on Christmas Eve the same thing happened. Forecast said 2-3" but got a full blown blizzard. Then record low temps. I'm talking like -50 with -45 to -50 windchills. It was horrible. Feel sorry for me yet LOL. I'm getting too old for this weather.

    I do appreciate it from your perspective

    I think, if you have a centrally heated home and enough provisions for a few days
    Snow is wonderful

    but if you have to go out in it, snow and cold are no fun what so ever
