We have about 2 inches on the ground right now where I am. Accumulations around town range from 1-2 inches, with more in higher elevations. It's also really, really icy. This is actually abnormal for us--it doesn't snow much in our part of Oregon. Rain is the norm, especially this time of year. Green Christmases are typical. It usually snows about once a winter, if that, and it usually doesn't accumulate much beyond a couple of inches. We've had a couple of really bad snowstorms in recent memory, though.
We aren't wimpy about it, we're just not used to it, and as such, don't have experience with it. People here don't know how to drive in snow because usually there is no snow. Usually it's in the 40s and raining.
Oddly, the forecasters are calling for more snow on Wednesday and it seems there may be another big system in the works for next week.
