the pacific northwest is kindof a joke like that as well. we get the weirdest weather, and we're never prepared for any of it. my college literally had no school for a week becuase of about 2/3 inches of snow and ice that woudlnt go away. not to mention that people over here drive like f**king retards, so it doesnt help. if you've ever seen cars literally drive 15 miles an hour below the speed limit when snowflakes start falling on their windsheilds, you could feel my pain.
