Wimps? Hippies? I can see how our reaction to a 15" snow storm might appear to be overly cautious from the perspective of a lilly inside the hot house of sunny
Folsom, CA. (Whether or not that view is from the maximum security prison, we're still checking on). But as any Minnesotan knows, who's ever had to extricate themselves and their vehicle from a roadside ditch during a blizzard and/or below zero temperatures, there's very little in life worth risking in order to hit the roads in weather like this. Happy to kick back and watch the woods fill up with snow for a day, rather than have a white knuckle tour on the road for some mundane task of every day life.
As to the wimp factor, let me just point you to an example of who were are, from last night just before the storm hit.
This is how a true Minnesotan handles the threat of a snow storm.
