Snow Way!

So the weather man has been predicting several inches of snow for the town that I live in. I find it interesting to watch the natives scatter around like ants who have had their hill stomped on, everytime there is a prediction of snow. It is like they have never seen snow before, or snow is some sort of magic powder that falls from the sky and will burn your flesh and everything that it touches. They talk about it for days, it is all you hear about throughout the town. "Did you hear we are going to be getting a big snow?" When in reality 3-4 inches are to be expected. Talk about making a (snow) mountain out of a mole hill. I am not from this town originally (relocated almost 6 years ago) I am from a bigger city where snow is not treated as if it is armegeddon. It falls and the plows take it away it is as simple as that, no big deal. I even have a co-worker who calls in if there is a prediction of snow. Get real! Snow way is it as bad as the natives declare it to be!
