I'm in Pittsburgh for the month for work. I am from a part of the world where snow is a very common part of winter life...apparently it is not in Pittsburgh.
I'm watching the local news here and they are calling for 1-3 inches. The weatherman then says to check the scroll at the bottom for delays and closures. EVERYTHING IS CLOSED OR DELAYED! Simply because of the threat of 3 inches of snow, they are shutting down the city...lol!
Were I live we got 10 inches in about 8 hours. Nothing closed. We then got another 10 inches over the next 36 hours. Nothing closed. I grew up in Michigan. It snowed there too and snow rarely closed anything. I cannot fathom why the threat of a mere 3 inches of snow is shutting down a city.

I think its funny how when there is a massive snowfall (say 4 feet) everything in the neighboring towns shut down... but I'm still in school that day. But anyway, I think snow has a thing for bringing the stupid side of people. *Observes person hitting brakes randomly on icy conditions in dense traffic with me(god forbid otherwise) behind him*
