I grew up in Erie before moving here. Winter here is just sad. Barely any snow. Just cold, or worse, cold rain. Yes snow can be a PITA, but damn it looks a lot less depressing. You just need good tires.

Yess - I remember my mom calling me saying she couldn’t go to the store because it snowed. I said, “Mom, it snowed 2-3 inches there, it snowed 2.5 ft here and I still went to class!”. It’s a different mindset because you just deal with snow in Erie. Here, it’s now rain, ice, and snow.

I think it used to snow in December and then really really snow in January. Now it just is rainy/ice in December and the snow doesn’t really start until sometime in January. Like the seasons are shifting forward or something, but what do I know.
