Wow, I really DO learn something new every day! Your member page says you live in Nevada. That's the LAST place (in the continental US) that I would associate with a snow problem. (well, maybe second last, right after Corpus Christi) How much do you get each year?
We're in the high desert -- four seasons country; winter isn't usually this bad, however -- last time we had a storm of this size was 1996.
