Seriously, this area is filled with weather wimps.
How about the poor kids who had to wait between 30 and 60 minutes later than usual for their bus? (and there was not telling whether it would be the shorter or longer time) - that's a long time to stand out in the cold at a bus stop.

You've got to be kidding me. I'm supposed to test drive a new car.

As someone who lives in Massachusetts, we have gotten like 5 feet of snow dumped on us in the past weeks, with temps as low as -20. Seeing you guys flustered over the weather you are getting makes me giggle. However, I am THRILLED to see you guys stress over the weather you are getting. Because most of my family lives in VA and I visit there a good amount of time. And VA is most likely where I will retire to one day in the future.

So I am happy to see you guys a bit stressed over getting like half the amount of snow that we get up here. Cause where you are is my kinda place then! Cold weather will never be my favorite thing, but I don't mind the change of seasons. I just want a place that stays a bit warmer for a few weeks longer when winter hits, and warms up a bit quicker than up here when spring hits. AND with less snow!

GENERALLY speaking (I know y'all can get hit hard once in a while) Virginia seems to be a good place for what I want. So, as someone who for now is stuck in this snow covered, frozen hell we call Massachusetts, I cant WAIT until the days where I'm dealing with your weather instead of this icy pit up here. It seems to be getting worse up here for weather. I know it sucks, but count your blessings. It's been ridiculous up here this past month.

You know, when you're on nearly the same latitude as KC, you'd think DC could handle this stuff a little better. My HQ is in Buffalo. You don't want to know what they think about the fed being closed on Tuesday for a couple of inches of snow....
