Of course. Just like there's parts of the country that could never handle hurricane-style weather.

I'm just sayin', in upstate NY, we had another name for 4-6 inches of snow... "Golf weather."

Well, you never know. Here in Rhode Island they had forecasted 2-4 inches for yesterday, and I woke up to over a foot on my car!

As someone that has seen what even a small amount of snow can do to the roads in this area....can't say I am too excited.....not to mention the risk of loss of life.

We got a call that Johnston County schools are cancelled for tomorrow. I am glad, my girls wanted to see the inauguration anyway!

But...we have tickets for Celine Dion tomorrow night at the RBC center! I hope that doesn't get cancelled!!

I'm also from RI - now living in Cary. My dad said they've been getting hit every couple of days. I truly don't miss it. I just pulled my car into the garage so I won't have to clean it in the morning. At least in RI, the roads are usually plowed well and plwed early. Hoping for that here tomorrow.

A wise one told me this recently when comparing weather:

This is kind of thing I worried about when they started advertising that show in 2007.
