Currently in Seattle, there's enough snow that you really can't even see the sidewalks, and even the side streets are kind of iffy for cars right now (we have maybe ten snow plows in the whole city). Walking around today, I got irritated for a moment, wondering why the hell no one was shoveling their stretch of sidewalk, until I suddenly realized that most people in Seattle probably don't even own a snow shovel. It's kind of silly, given the fact that there's only about 10-14 inches of snow on the ground, but I'm actually getting around right now in full snow shoe clothing, minus the snow shoes, simply because it's necessary. In Colorado, where I grew up, this much snow would be a minor inconvenience, not really worth mentioning...
