A quarter of an inch of snow, when I lived in Atlanta, was enough to shut down the schools. And if you could see how pitifully Atlantans drive on slick streets, you’ll understand how a dusting can paralyze the city.

Raised in Connecticut, but when licing in Columbus, Georgia, I decided to go along with it. "You are right about the conditions, I guess I better work from home today."

Now we are in Phoenix, where it is really a non-issue, and my present jobs has me working at home anyway.

I once had my travel plans in western Canada disrupted by an 18-inch snowstorm.

In AUGUST.

There's nothing like mountain weather to let you know who is in charge.

I've spent lots of time in Ohio, Chicago, Maine and Connecticut, and these folks are equally bad at driving on snow and ice as non-Yankees. The difference is, the amount of available road treatment materials and vehicles. In general Yanks are as bad at driving as they are voting.

Two stories. When I was at Minot AFB, I received an e-mail from the IG office at ACC headquarters at Langley AFB from of office relevant to my office. It advised us the their office would be closed the next day and possibly more because they were expecting an inch of snow. I printed it and stuck it on the wall behind my desk with the statement that it was proof the fighter pilots are wimps.

Second, while in San Antonio at Randolph AFB, there were a couple of days in January that got down to freezing. While driving into base in the morning, I found myself behind three Texas State Trooper cars driving at 25mph and blocking any cars from passing them. They weren’t going to let anyone drive faster than that on the freeway.
