Ooo! I grew up in upstate New York, where we have the most snowfall in the 
entire country. I saw one winter with four snow storms: 24" 28" 37" and 
48"!  We don't get so freaked out about snow and when we do, we have a cold 
place to keep that milk and bread!

I have been thinking a lot about Philly, reading your commentary. I would 
lurv it. :)
