Snow? What is the big deal?
Posted Sunday, December 16, 2007, at 9:04 AM
Do people react differently today to snow than they did 20 or 30 years ago?
It seems like every time the weatherman calls for 2 to 4 inches of snow, the public goes crazy. I don't remember the same happening back in the 1970s.
Do you remember the blizzard of 1978? My high school missed two weeks of school, and I remember my county road being cleared so one car could pass. The snow was 10-15 feet high on both sides of the road. If you met another car, someone had to back up.
So what's the deal with 2 to 4 inches of snow?
I must admit I don't like ice, but a little snow isn't such a big deal.
Have a great winter!!!
