      <![CDATA[Ok, I grew up in Portland but am currently living in Texas. In the region I live (because Texas is fucking huge & and has an absurd variety of climates) we DO get down to freezing level, but rarely have the precipitation at the same time to make snow. So when we do, all the locals freak out with unrivalled wonderment...it's SO hard to not tell them it's just sleet because I've had too many Minnesotans shit on my parade when I lived in Portland...I just can't do that to innocent people.

      <![CDATA[You forgot to mention that if you're at home when it starts snowing, surely enough the local news crews (notably channel 8) will always point their cameras at some street in the west hills and watch cars careening down the hillside - from morning broadcast until night.

      <![CDATA[The only thing missing tho is IF it starts accumulating - the fine layer of ice that is under the top layer - and people who have SUV's or 4 Wheel drive from places like the midwest or california - all think that since they have an all terrain vehicle - they can go 60 miles per hour  at least until they hit the ice OR that They can make it down the hill without crashing like the other 20 cars before them.....then one of the inside people will be filming said pin ball machine made of cars plus hill and post it on the web and send it to news media where you can hear them laughing in the background saying oops - here comes another one - must be from out of state....LOL
