3. We used to take big snowstorms more in stride that we do now.

It's funny to me, as a transplant from California. But, I've been here in MN for 22 years, now, and have seen enough winters to know that this snowstorm is a chump, compared to some others I've seen.

In my suburb and development, I woke up this morning to see all the snow off my driveway and local street. The nearby arterial street is also snow-free, as are the freeways.

So, I'm just shrugging this one of as yet another moderate winter storm and going about my business.
