Light coating in my yard at this time. As far as southern wussies go, plenty of southerners drive SUVs and minivans. But aside from that, people need to relax. Its only snow. I remember when I first moved here, if there was a possibility of a storm the local tv channels would put LOAFS OF BREAD in the corner of the screen. The more loafs, the worse the coming storm.

Now tell me some yankee was in charge of programming and came up with that great idea. And tell me it doesnt tell the viewers to go to the store and stock up.

Yankees can drive in the snow. Southerners can not. And no one can drive on the ice. And down here in the south, when you get snow you get ice. Up north the ground is frozen at this time of year (normally) and when the snow hits it stays snow. Down here the ground is still warm. The snow melts and then it freezes at night turning everything into ice.

We usually get more sleet and freezing rain than snow.
