Snow on the coast

What's good with all this snow in the south? The Hampton Roads area had 7 inches of snow last night. It's not supposed to snow here! I left PA to get away from the snow and it seems to have followed me. 

Of course VA Beach has yet to plow anything other than the major roads. It's sad that this area doesn't know how to prepare for inclement weather. We have a limited amount of snow plows which makes it very difficult to go anywhere because the roads are covered with snow.

Since I'm from the Poconos where it snows all the time, I will share some of my top tips for dealing with the snow

Rule #1: Start plowing and salting the roads as soon as the snow begins to stick. Duh!

Rule #2: Do not go out unless it is an emergency. And if you do decide to drive, put your car in a lower gear. The brakes are nonexistent when there's snow and ice on the roads.

Rule #3: Dress in layers, below freezing temperatures are not good for your skin!
