Bingo!! lol

I love living here, really I do, but I'm from a small town in Michigan, and 
I know that, even if you get ten inches of snow in one night, chances are 
very very good that the stores will be able to open, and the trucks will get 
through. When living on a narrow dirt road, outside of a very small town 
(and South Lyon MI was TEENY thirty years ago), I can remember being snowed 
in for more than one day exactly twice.
Hurricanes, on the other hand, I'm learning to "appreciate", if that's the 
right word. We had a neighbor's 55 foot blue spruce land in our yard, 
missing our roof by literally INCHES. And when I hear "tornado warning", I 
run for the basement.
