I just heard some girls out in the hallway shrieking about how it's snowing. Now maybe it's just the fact that I'm a born and bred New Englander, but my immediate reaction was so freaking what?!

The only thing it's done so far is stick on my sweater as I've been running back and forth between the laundry room in the attached building and here, and within a few weeks we'll all be sick of it. And from what I've heard people have already forgotten how to drive in snow and there have been several car accidents within the last few hours both out west and here in the city.

So yeah, snow: pretty at first, a pain in the ass pretty quickly.

People always forget how to drive when water falls from the sky. I call it the Chicken Little Syndrome..

As for snow..I'd like to have some here. We get snow..followed by ice. More commonly just Ice.

Snow would be a nice change. :D

I remember talking to someone from Arizona when he went to Chicago for a few days, and he said that he thought the fog and rain were really cool and was really excited about it. Everyone else looked at him like he was nuts, but I guess it's relative to what you're used to.

There was an article in the Boston Globe today pretty much asking people not to be stupid when it starts snowing, but if the number of sirens I've heard outside in the last hour are any indication most haven't taken it to heart.
