Weather Watchers

And of course no snow plows can be a killer.

I currently live in Santa Fe, NM. There is a certain reliance on the altitude and dry air making the snow go away with minimal plowing. I'm very glad that I no longer work, and so can simply stay inside if I don't think the driving will be okay.

I've also lived in Minneapolis, then Golden CO, and Boulder CO. And the Kansas City area. (Go Chiefs!!)

I really like it that I've lived in various parts of the country. I have perspectives that aren't possible if you've lived in one city, or even in different cities in one state, your whole life. Even though I appreciate how wonderful that can be.

When I was still living in Kansas, around 20 years ago, schools got cancelled two days in a row after a relatively severe snowfall, because they were not able to plow out all of the parking lots in all of the schools for two days. Sometimes they cancel (at least in the Kansas City area) if the wind chill is too severe, to keep kids from having to stand outside in seriously cold weather. Other times, plowing the streets so the school busses can do their thing is a problem.
