Here in NE Wisconsin, the first major snowfall is always fun. You get to see who is new to the area or waited a little too long to replace those worn tires.

We see that also. Having a large military base nearby, many soldiers and their families are new to it. Little bit of a learning curve.

Reminds me of a joke I once overheard from 10th Mountain members.
One soldier told another, “ That unit really puts the FUN in Fort Drum!”
The second soldier replied, “ There is no FUN in Fort Drum!”
The first soldier answered, “ Exactly!”
Well.... I wouldn't do well in Nashville myself, or on a beach anywhere, ever. Of course so far this season I have had the plow on once and didn't need it. Temps in the 50's in mid December still are depressing. Not only do I do snow dances but we have been burning a bunch of brush west of our riding are trying help seed the clouds so we can get some dang snow! Crazy I suppose but to me it creates the most beautiful scenes in the world, and I LOVE to work and play in the snow. The campfire pic is just the other day at 9200 feet in SW Colorado. It has been an exceptionally weak winter so far this year. I ALWAYS hope for a "hard" winter.
We've had our share of snow here over the years and as I age, it just gets tougher to deal with it. Lol, keep the snow where it's needed most like where you are. I hope the Rockies get 20' this year as it will help replenish Lakes Powel and Meade.
Kind of how I feel anymore. I've lived on the NY/Canada border my whole life. I've seen my share of snow and have done things the OP is thinking about in my younger days. Drove around in storms pulling people out of the ditch, etc.
Now that I'm 61 and have given up snowmobiling and skiing snow is just a nuisance for me to move out of my driveway. Fortunately I have the equipment for that.
For the peak holiday season I drive truck for a USPS contractor. I'd rather not deal with snow for that either. Far too many people out there who have no business driving on a winter highway.
Agreed. Snow makes my bones hurt. I'd much rather be sitting in my little fishing boat on an 88* day sipping on a few cold beers and catching some fish.
Snow around here used to mean easy money, not so much in the past decade and now its something here one day and gone the next for a few months out of the year. Used to really look forward to having all the trucks out working, now the State or Cities only call for sand/salt which isnt worth leaving the wood stove
Winter is not to be taken lightly here. -37 with high winds and plenty of snow last winter. The only good thing about winter is it keeps people from moving here.
Does KY ever get any serious snow?? Maybe a January road trip to MN is in your future!
Yes, KY does get snow. Usually we have less than 6" snowfalls, but sometimes we get a blizzard with 13' drifts. You never really know about KY weather.

In my neck of Wisconsin its normally locals that mess up because they think they know how (they've been here forever too). Newbies however have an excuse, they're new.
