My stepdaughter and wife are from Minnesota. When they moved here, the stepdaughter was in the 5th grade. I remember when we had about 4 inches of snow overnight one time and my stepdaughter asked "Do you think we'll get a snow day?" I told her I was sorry, but I had never seen a snow day.  In the next 9  years of school (she graduated in 2015) - she had exactly 1 snow day. A Couple of late starts - but only 1 true snow day - and yeah - I had to go to work...

Well, in South Texas just an inch will have everything shut down. Luckily the 1-4 inches last week occurred in the evening after most got off work and were at home. If not, it would have been caos and a complete societal breakdown. People around here can barely drive in wet rainy weather, you surely don’t want to be on the road with them in the ice and snow. 🤣

Not to mention that we don't have the infrastructure/equipment(snow chains, tires) to handle freezing conditions for extended periods of time.

Interesting, and all this time I thought various locations in the states got more than just a skiff of snow.  :)

Absolutely correct.  Here in the south we get more ice than anything else.  So driving on ice is nerve racking.  The snow that we get is just a teaser for the kids, never last long or even enough to build a snowman.  I made a snowman for my grandkids, 12 inches tall, but when you take a close up pic of it, it looked  huge.  LOL!!! They came over with all their gear on, I was so tickled how Mom bundled them up.  The joy in their faces is something I will never forget.  Let It Snow...again!!!!

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/skiff

Skiff - noun 

1.any of various types of boats small enough for sailing or rowing by one person

 

Therefore it logically follows that a skiff of snow is a boatload...

 

:pirateship:

I think here in Texas you could say we saw plenty of skiff's when Harvey visited us in August,  I like the logic that a skiff of snow is a boatload.. that would of been a laugh to see here!
