Snow was a fun thing when I was growing up back there. Out here, although people think of Colorado as snowy, we actually get very little of the stuff, and it usually falls in increments of less than three inches and melts away in hours. Lots of people don't even bother shoveling. Of course we do have exceptions, like the two feet we got in October of 1997, but those are the exceptions that prove the rule.
