I'm laughing at this, because I'm from Indiana and I remember the actual blizzard of '78. That winter SUCKED! (36" of snow, with 14' drifts.) That's why I moved to Oklahoma, I don't mind some snow, but I don't want it to stick around.
So, what'd we get last Wednesday evening, into Thursday?
Five inches of snow, with drifts about a foot high.
People where my wife works called off, so she had to go in. Not a big deal - there's a reason we own Subarus. But nobody ELSE on the road knows how to drive on it, not down here. You would have thought it was the beginning of the end of days, all the stores being stripped by shoppers like locusts. Oh, and it's now Monday, and back in the mid-50's, so the snow's all gone.
