You also have to keep in mind that, because it is common here, we have the equipment and resources to deal with it. When it's going to ice, they start salting our roads before the storm hits. When it's large amounts of snow, the main roads are cleared quickly and our side streets (depending on how good your city is) are done within 24 hours or so. The most we'd ever be stuck at home is a day. Everybody has shovels, snow blowers and bags of salt at home to deal with their driveways and walk ways. My friend who moved to Texas for about 8 years and then came back said that there really is no difference between Texas and Michigan. In both states, you have 3 months out of the year where it's miserable to be outside.. here it's because of cold, there it's because of heat.
