And everyone has forgotten how to drive? I certainly noticed a few people
that didn't own snow scrappers on the roads.....

What amazes me is that snow makes headlines here in New England. I'm
sure the snow will be the lead story on the news tonight, people are
continually surprised, I guess, when it snows in winter around here!

Ann,

What you say is SO TRUE. One would think that New Englanders would come to
expect snow when the weather turns cold. Let me tell you about people who
don't know how to drive...PERIOD. I moved from Massachusetts to
southeastern Virginia. It's totally amazing here...Rain, Sunshine,
Snow...doesn't matter...there's generally at least one major accident a day
in this area. Last week I saw a vehicle that had flipped on it's roof on
the interstate on an absolutely beautiful, cloud-free sunshiney day. When
it snows, things get cancelled. Four inches can shut this area down for a
day. I'm hoping for a little snow. My dogs love to play in the snow...when
we get some. One of them I brought down with me so she's had the pleasure
of playing in snow after a major dump (12-24 inches).
