Those back east have puny weakling snow storms. Out west snow storms kick their frozen butts. Even east coast trees look like skinny little twigs.☺
Then I pointed out to them that Mount Baker, Washington set a record for the Lower 48 states with 1,140 inches (that's not a misprint!) of snow in the late 1990s ... and the ski area there closes periodically because the snow piles up higher than the ski lifts.
LOL.
