Yeah but it is nice for those of us from the southeast. I love going to Wisconsin to visit my wife's family this time of the year, pretty much guaranteed to have a white Christmas no matter what.
Kinda related back to CR's original post, I think people who don't see snow that often tend to imagine that up north everybody drives AWD and 4WD vehicles. I was stunned to discover that tons of people drive heavy, low-to-the-ground, rear wheel drive cars back and forth to wherever in the snow/ice. The difference is they know WTF they are doing in those conditions.
