Come to Nashville where the threat, not actual snowfall just the threat, of snow will shut the schools down.

I think that's happened here once or twice, and I swear there's a correlation between cloudiness and traffic.

I can work from home, so don't even care any more... during the first snow this year (a couple inches), I noticed Google maps said my 7-10 minute commute would take 28 minutes, which was all I needed to stay home.

The panic rate is correlated to the area's ability to adequately remove the snow. Places like central Texas don't even have snow plows and ways to remove it, so it just magnifies the risk.
