> People in the NE are such winter drama queens.
Not all of us are.
In a real blizzard, the roads and highways clog up with cars that get stuck. Going uphill, even with snowtires, without 4WD, in 6” or more of snow is near impossible. Add to that white-out conditions where you can’t even see where you’re going. A lot of people pull over, if they can, and walk to the nearest house or store to wait it out. Their cars will be towed to make room for the plows. Roads and highways will be shut for days. Much of the area will experience power outages.
For metrosexuals living in the city and suburbs, this is high drama.
For rural, somewhat self-sufficient types,a real blizzard is an awesome and beautiful display of God’s expression in nature followed by some work to dig out and a few days of peace and quiet.
Wait until the greenies get control of the country and ban “inappropriate technology”...like weather satellites.
Balderdash, old chap. Have you never driven and old Volkswagen? Or a modern FWD car? Or a '48 Plymouth with chains? Or popped on the studs for a few days?
Worst snow cars ever? pre-2000 BMW, Mercedes, Volvo!

Amen (from the Burbs) - was out shovelling @ 4AM, quite peaceful. I’m guessing 14” but it was fairly light, fluffy.
