It's a big deal because we aren't prepared for it. A lot of people in this area (at least my neighbors) don't even own snow shovels! We don't have snow tires or chains, and our cities don't put a lot of money into snow preparedness and clean-up. Obviously it's going to be a bigger deal here than it would be in the Midwest! End rant.

Yes! I have a friend, eh scratch that - friendly acquaintance from Buffalo who keeps complaining about people freaking out and school being canceled, whine, whine, whine... She refuses to acknowledge that snow like this, here is a big deal. A friend on facebook told me that this is the most snow we've ever had since 1870 when they started recording such things!
Here's a picture of George in the snow for you guys. And yes, school is canceled again today with another 10ish inches expected tonight so I won't be surprised if I'm not back until Monday... I actually want to go back to class!
