Snow -- The difference

Received many calls yesterday, March 1st, from family & friends in the south about their snow storm. It must have been an amazing day. Even here where snow is a very normal seasonal occurrence storms are an event that excites.
Interesting that there's always a run on bread & milk whether the snow's in Birmingham or Scranton. Twice in 25 years our roads were closed for a day keeping us from going to the store. That record doesn't slow the hoarders down one bit.
Anywho down to the difference. Talked to one of yesterdays callers this morning. It's cold there, 28 29 degrees, but the snow's gone. The snow started here in the very early hours of this morning. We have 2 inches on the ground and expect another 3 before it's over. It's 12 degrees here and this stuff will be with us 'til about Easter.
So in the south the snow comes and quickly becomes a memory where here it comes and remains an issue to deal with for weeks.
Hey! Did any of y'all make Snow Cream?
