Yikes snow and schools aren't closed..........

Yikes snow and schools aren't closed.........., by Claudia S. Nelson with Keller Williams Realty in Woodbridge VA 

This is how it looks outside my front door this morning. Snow in Woodbridge VA, snow in the DC area is a disaster. Mostly everyone freaks out about a little bit of snow and no one knows how to drive in the snow. Well that's not or mostly not the drivers faults but cars are not really equipped for snow in this area. Growing up I remember my dad changing tires before it got cold. We used to have summer and winter tires. Not so in this area. 

Anyway as a contrast this is a picture from where I grew up in Switzerland. They had snow over the holidays. Growing up we had snow like this and much more, I don't recall one single day where we didn't have to go to school.

Looking at my Facebook Feed this morning everyone freaking out about Prince William Schools being open. One inch of snow really isn't anything and shouldn't close down schools.

Yesterday after the gym I stopped at the grocery store, as I needed some fresh fruits and vegetables. I was surprised that all the shelves where empty. At that point I realized a snow storm was in the forecast and when that happens folks around here stock up as if there were no tomorrow.

Regardless of how crazy everyone gets when we get a little bit of snow, I love living in this area. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else, except maybe Florida during the winter time.
