Basically what I gathered from this is people are getting very mild winters and have suddenly ceased to function. XD
Hell.. most storms we have exceed 1ft- a few feet and we're up and running almost always. >.> If not by the next day. Then again we tend to throw salt down and have plows running through the night.

What I'd give for New England to declare 1-3 inches of snow an emergency, we'd have been out of school all winter back in high school. :3
I've decided that everyone in Alabama needs a quick trip to Canada, or even Colorado if you're not feeling like crossing the border.

By the time they get back they'll be able to handle it. Assuming they survive the encounter and don't faint at the sight of ice.
ALSO THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR FROZEN SONGS!
