I had to say what is it... I live in West Texas in what scientists have deemed a "succulent desert". We did get a little snow this year, but none really stuck. We got no snow last year. I think the most I have ever seen here is a few inches that actually accumulated and stuck. The town shut down.
That's not to say I haven't had some thrilling issues with snow however. i used to work for Ethicon, a division of Johnson and Johnson and our corporate offices were in Sommerville, New Jersey. And, my manager thought a meeting in mid January after the Christmas holidays was a fine idea. Needless to say, New Jersey and New York had a hellacious Ice Storm the evening my plane landed. It took us about 2 and a half hours to drive the short trip to our meeting. All the way we laughed at idiots in SUVs who had passed us a mile or so back only to end up smashed into a barrier or on the shoulder after a wreck. Ahh, good times.
