Ah, ok. Yeah, winters aren't much to be excited about around these parts. The last few (or more) years have even been fairly snow-less, even up north. We may get 18" dumped on us at once, but it hasn't really stuck around. Kind of a bummer for avid snowmobilers, skiers, snowboarders, etc.

I bet! Especially when you're neck of the woods isn't setup for that kind of weather, whatsoever. No plows, no giant salt bins pre-stocked before winter, etc. like we have here.
