Or as they say in Scandinavia, a normal winter. It is just further proof of the basic weakness of Americans, fat, lazy, and too stupid to outwit snow.

You sound like the OP of #1 10 years ago. If you feel better about yourself after posting that, I hope you also grow up one day.

Considering that just the wind is at 65 mph/105 km/h at it's highest point, nope, that's not a normal Scandinavian winter.

Okay, a mild Scandinavian winter then.

I'm willing to bet good money you're American.

Probably. I just checked the weather for Trondheim, Norway for the last 30 days; the total precip was 42.4 mm, and the average temperature for the last month was 24 F. Where I live, we consider ourselves lucky to have daytime highs above 19 F for most of January and February, and we've already had 18 inches of snow.

Step up your game, the fat, lazy 'merican meme is as old as the internet.

Okay, here's the thing, oh-holier-than-thou anon. Up in places such as Scandinavia or Canada, they can deal with large amounts of snowfall. I grew up in a small town in Canada, and I would often walk to school between snowbanks well above my head. It wasn't a problem though, since they had the proper equipment and resources to remove massive amounts of snow, so the sidewalks and streets were always plowed.

But a lot of these places where this winter storm hit, they either don't have the resources to take care of snow much or at all, or they don't have the resources to take care of the enormous amount of snow they were getting in a short period of time. I currently live in North Carolina, and considering that in an average winter we don't get snow at all or maybe just a dusting of it, we only have minimal equipment to take care of snow or ice. Because it's not considered a wise use of resources. So even though we only got maybe about 4 inches of snow and some ice, that was enough to practically shut down the city I live in. The main roads were okay, but any side streets were practically impassable.

So while you're sitting there on your high horse, maybe you should do some research first before passing judgement.
