I might be rethinking heading north after all...no one said anything about SNOW! I wont know what to do, I have only seen snow fall from the sky once in my life and now I'll be living in 2 to 5 inches! Please tell me it's dehydrated instant potatoe flakes, right?! Snow bunnies set my heart at ease!

I had only seen snow once before I moved here, but I am surviving!!! It's FUN!!
I grew up in NH. Like Eskimos, we have about 40 words for snow up there. What we have here today is called "dixie-snow." The way I know its dixie-snow is that (1) People are panicking (2) It's only 3-4 inches and (3) People are driving 5 mph and still sliding off the road. If it wasn't kinda scary, it would be funny.
YOU WIMP!!!! Broaden your horizons!!!! IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
I'm told there's actually a chance that it might snow again the end of the week!!!
