@jerv Gee, thanks for the tips. I’ll remember that Colorado doesn’t get tons of melts and refreezes the next time I hit a black ice sheet and spin out doing 70 on I-25 at night. Good thing Coloradoans aren’t like, experienced in how to drive carefully but confidently in icy conditions, so I wasn’t killed by some asshole following way too close. How randomly lucky for me that I just happened to get someone who must have been a transplanted New Englander driving behind me, who not only had enough time to slow before he hit the patch, but actually slowed way down and put on his flashers to warn cars behind (who were also following at safe distances) not to kill us both, while I, poor single-snow-type Coloradoan, foolishly steered into my turn and yet somehow mysteriously managed to regain control of my vehicle. Probably had nothing at all to do with my (and my fellow drivers’) extremely extensive experience driving in snow and ice.
Do I really need the tilde?
That said, you are right that I was being overly dismissive of the snowfall around here, especially in the state in question, MA, or in the one you mentioned, NH. Though those results don’t, of course, compare to certain places in CO (Crested Butte is like a magical frosted town, with snow up above the eaves of the houses for much of the year), I must admit that New England does generally get more snow than the areas I hung out in, Denver and Colorado Springs. Too bad the mountains here suck.
Also, no need for the unwarranted assumption about where I haven’t lived, friend-o. Or I guess you might conceivably know, but that’d be super creepy and you should probably stop stalking me now :oP
