Mar. 8, 2008 - I've become a snow wimp....

I am a snow wimp. I have not always been a snow wimp.

I grew up west of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I lived in Green Bay for a few years. I lived in Akron Ohio for a few years... they get a lot more snow than Columbus... those darn Great Lakes the dot the eastern Mid-West (sometimes referred to as the Great Lakes States) make a big difference.

Milwaukee, Green Bay and Akron get snow. Columbus Ohio seldom gets a lot of snow in comparison.

I remember hearing the retail company I worked for in Green Bay recruits in the summer... I think they came to Madison to recruit... I am not sure what month I first saw Green Bay... when I accepted the job...

The nice thing about working for this particular company was that we had a store in Marqwette Michigan. We would fly up to Marquette in a company plane for a day or part of a day. There is nothing like seeing the snow piles in Marquette Michigan to make you appreciate even a place like Milwaukee or Green Bay... which gets less snow.

Worthington has 12" of snow according to Channel 10 weather. Whose snow is this? It is NOT ours.

What do you do on a snowy Saturday in Columbus Ohio when it is a level 2 snow emergency? And the counties around are all level 3?

Twitter...

Twitter with those in other parts of Ohio... like Gina Kay Landis in the Dayton area:

ginakay @MaureenMcCabe Zow, you know the area around Cols has blizzard warning... be careful! about 2 hours ago from web

Twitter with those outside Ohio like Tom Royce in Atlanta... who went to school at Denison University:

TomRoyce @MaureenMcCabe We are getting snow here in ATL... Any snow here is a snow emergency. about 2 hours ago from twhirl
