<<Another reason for Southern state
migrations. We pay higher taxes here as snow removal is a large budget item.>>
Yes, that is why we southerners look so riduculous to the normally snowy part
of the country, we are paralyzed when the slightest bit of snow falls because
it is not financially feasible to keep around all that idle equipment for a day
or two a year's use.
<<most of us cannot wait a few months to move the car>>
Well, we got 6 or 7 inches here in Nashville and it didn't get above freezing
for a week, so all that snow is still here and just now starting to melt. My
grocery store is in walking distance, so I got my groceries and exercise at the
same time. They plowed and salted the interstates and main 4-lanes, but it
came down so fast there were "parking lots" miles long for days till everyone
could be dug out.
I am glad for the snow blanket on the plants, though. I had some late planted
hellebores and epimedium that might not have been too happy with the sudden
cold (zero or below at night) in one of our normal open winters.
