Elad, if we get two inches of snow, we figure that's about average, for a day! Most of our snow seems to fall in Jan. and Feb. When it finally lets up and the sun shines, we get the flying bug real bad. Wish we could have your and Bill's winters, but I'll keep our summers. The reason everything closes down during snow in the South is that it doesn't happen often and the road commisions can't prepare for something that might happen once in a blue moon. Up here they know it's coming. Usually I'll see plows out at 5:30 AM when I'm on my way to work. Unless it's real bad out, the roads are in good shape (passable) by the time I get off work. Good thing, cause then I can get home and work in my planes1
