Wasn't suggesting a comparison. :)
We once got 40 inches of snow on a Halloween night, and I've been through more 10-16 inch snowfalls than I can count. But it isn't close to what you folks go through.
Glad you're doing better!
I know you weren't comparing the two.
I was just relating my personal opinion.
Earthquakes, mudslides, and fires are pretty bad too.
I've been through all of those in So California.
The snow can be deadly and damaging, but it has redeeming factors - presents some opportunity for fun.
