Growing up in Australia and absorbing American culture meant learning about (but never experiencing) "snow days" or really snow in general

But since moving to Seattle I gotta say I am positively *underwhelmed*

@CursedSilicon Move to the Midwest--literally anywhere in the Great Lakes region--and you'll be singing a different tune come next winter. :)
@dragonarchitect I wanna see it at least ONCE tho
@CursedSilicon You're basically in one of the least snow-prone regions of the continent overupthere in Seattle. Even though you're at high latitude, several factors come together to stabilize the climate up there.
@CursedSilicon The Great Lakes region is almost the opposite. It's deep enough into the continent for the continental effect to give it bitterly cold winters, north of the gulf so sometimes huge masses of water can wash up from the south, and the great lakes provide a lovely boost to the whole cocktail specifically over western new york, pennsy, ontario, and northern ohio with Lake Effect Snow.

@dragonarchitect As @xsnulz once said

"As soon as I can dig myself out of my house I'm kicking your ass"

@dragonarchitect @CursedSilicon Can confirm; we're being threatened with the prospect of 10-20 inches of snow this weekend, about a week before "spring."
