When a storm like this happens in Michigan we just look outside and say "oh, it's Tuesday."

It's all dependent on what the area is used to. My dad lives in Minneapolis, where it's business as usual when it's 10 below and snowing several inches per hour, but here in Oregon, we had a day off of school this fall where it literally looked like someone had sprinkled powdered sugar on the ground. It melted by 10 AM, but school was canceled (not that I'm complaining).
