...which is funny, given the climate.  Yes, the southern edge of Lake
Erie gets
some snow, but go south 50 miles and it's risible.

The first winter I was at Ohio State, having moved there from Chicago,
my wife
was greatly amused when it snowed (1/2in accumulation) and they were
sent home
from work, schools were closed, people quit driving in panic, etc. usw.
k.t.l.

Of course, Ethan makes up for that with his work address!
