I think it's because Delaware/Maryland/Virginia are just south enough and closer to the ocean so that snow either shouldn't arrive or, if it does, it melts the minute it hits the ground. So it's natural that nobody would be prepared for the onslaught of ice or snow actually sticking.

My husband lived in Oklahoma for 5 years before moving back up this way. While he was down there, he experienced a few terrifying ice storms -- terrifying because, of course, they're not prepared for ANY kind of weather like that, people don't know how to drive in that sort of weather, and everything became a huge mess :shudder:

Delaware's yearly snowfall is somewhere in the range of Buffalo's monthly Winter snowfall, which we thought was hilarious. What we didn't know is that the rest all comes down in the form of rain, which sucks. This is going to be our second Winter in this area, and last year was super rainy. We're hoping for a little more snow, even if it means dealing with poor drivers. :)

I'd imagine most places in the south get kind of crazy with even the smallest amount of snow, and super crazy with any amount of ice.

Really? I never would have guessed that :shaking head: But which would you rather have -- blizzards or torrential downpours?

I'm 2 miles from the ocean, so the temperature has to plummet and remain there for us to get whalloped. Those who live further inland get whalloped anyway, no matter what.

Honestly?

Blizzards.

But the comparison isn't quite fair. It's not torrential downpours that we get, it's just slightly rainy all day. It's not even the wetness that really bothers me, it's that it's dark and dismal, drizzling rain, every day. It's just blech, you know?

Yeah...we're currently having that bleak drizzly stuff too :( It's supposed to be changing to snow sometime later today and going through tomorrow afternoon. Couple of inches at the most. I'm so happy I'm not at work fending off the "I NEED BREAAAAD!" crowd!

Me? I like an old-fashioned blizzard once in a while. I'm realizing, though, that the older I get, the less tolerant I am of cold, so I'm beginning to lean toward the torrential downpour :(

I don't necessarily like the cold. The blizzard appeals to me more because I can cuddle up on the couch with my wife and dogs than any other reason.

I DO prefer the cold to the hot. I can always put on more/heavier clothes to stay warm.

As long as the power stays on I don't mind a good blizzard. Being inside and watching the snow fall and knowing it is useless to try to go anywhere is a good thing. And taking he dogs out to play in the snow is too much fun!

DQ Blizzards are yummy. The rest? Not so much!
