Yikes.  If you live with that for a while you adapt.  We get 2" once a 
year, so nobody makes an effort to prepare, other than running to the 
store for bread and milk (and frozen pizza).

We had a serious blizzard here in the early 90s - 2 to 3 feet of snow. 
Early that morning I crunched my way 3/4 a mile from my house to the 
interstate.  Stood on a bridge overlooking I-285.  Zero cars. Zero 
people.  Zero sounds.  Untouched layer of pure white snow.  No movement 
as far as the eye could see.  Eerie.
