I was raised in NC and they do not have the equipment to deal with major snow fall. They do the safe thing and close the roads, shut down the schools and send home half the city.

Here in NH its a little tougher than that. We are getting peppered with snow now, and are expecting 12 to 16 inches before tomorrow morning. We are setting up the generator, snow plow, snow thrower, and have turned the cars to face out or the drive.

All the winter boots are now tucked by the back door with a box of mittens, hats, scarves and dry socks. The house is loaded with food and we are ready to be buried in it. Bring it on!
