Sorry it didn’t read well. I meant how many days off per year, on average, does someone get off work or school for a “snow day.” (Schools/work closed.)

I know nothing about snow, but I did spend one looooonnnnnggg winter in Ohio years ago. I don’t like it. 🙂

I’m going out on a limb here and guess that I’m going to match exactly **no one** for #10. Where are your priorities, people? 😃

No hockey? No figure skating? This was, once again, a very Amercan-centric feud, in spite of it being about cold weather (stores sell out? They don’t. Inches of snow? A blizzard is about the wind, not the snow. Stuck in your house? We don’t get stuck.)

Care to send me one that’s not so American-centric? 😉 (I deliberately left out hockey and figure skating, BTW.)

I have never lived anywhere where it snows more than a couple days a year so the foregoing is based entirely on reading Pit threads. 😃
