Different regions of the country get a kick out of how others respond to weather that they are accustomed to. Up here in NW Pa, people are whining about how hot it is when we top 90 and got forbid it ever reaches 100...people are lose their minds. Snow though? There is very little snow that most pay attention to...they only thing that perks anyone's interest is when the forecast is for "significant accumulations." When they won't go out on a limb with a predicted total, ya know it's serious. Being a teacher, I can tell you we've had dumpings of up to a foot over night and go to school the next day. If they cancelled school every time it snowed, we'd be in school until August.
