“Well, I’ve grown up in the lake effect snow belt areas of NY,”
Me, too. On Lake Erie a few miles south of Buffalo. I have a healthy respect for snow — and a deep hatred of being in a car in snow. Although I love, love, love being indoors when it’s snowy or snowing. Beautiful!
The only time I get freaked out in snow and will go in is when it’s thundersnow.
You have NO idea where the lightning is or how close.
That’s enough for me.
