I have been amazed most of my life at how disrespectful snow is. Snow does give two hoots about where it falls and what it does to your life...except in Albuquerque. We have very respectful snow. It understands that we have lives and while we may want to enjoy some white beauty, the benefits of a snow pack to replenish our water supply, or enjoy some winter sports; we don't want to shovel our driveways, slip and slide on the road, get our shoes wet, or miss work.
Thus most of the time it snows here (which is a respectful minimum), it pretty much sticks to the mountain and is melted off within 12-18 hours here in town. We had one of these storms which started on Friday and ended Saturday. By today Sunday, all the roads were clear, but I got to do a little hiking in freshly fallen snow.

Could you ask that respectful southern snow to come up her to the north and teach our snow a thing or two?
I live with your snows rude, ignorant, inconsiderate, slob of a cousin who shows up and leaves a mess behind for everyone after him.
beautiful.
I sense some gloating.....
We'll take some respectful snow in St. Louis too
I'm with Jules and Terri. I hate snow. Ours feels the need to stick around forever until it turns into a gross, dirty, salty mess.
