I come back to sound like a broken record.

I really like living here, but the way life just shuts down because of a bit of snow is driving me insane.
Especially since I was in northern Finland just last week where snow is just something that happens and then you deal with it sensibly.
No, 10 (or even 15) cm of snow do not equal "being snowed in". And I say that as someone who very cleverly left her winter tires in Germany when I brought the car over here.

I grew up near Frankfurt, not the most snowy area of the country, but I remember winters when we had a couple of days of snow when I was a kid.
Of course after learning how to drive, I moved to Leipzig and Berlin and learned how to slide around corners on the snow.
I've looked down on anyone who doesn't think its fun ever since ;D

But yeah, bigger cities, people will be even bigger idiots in the snow. But yesterday it took one of my clients over an hour to do a 10 minute drive in a proper old school farmer's Landrover. That's not worth complaining about any more, that's just *sad*.
