Chicagoan here. We got...7+ inches of snow here Sunday. So what? I still remember a few years ago we got several feet of snow in one day. And that was indeed, just a Tuesday...the streets all got plowed and everyone was back to work on Wednesday. NYC gets 6 or more inches....it’s national news. Wimps.

No kidding. I live in Ohio. My car doors freeze shut every single winter.

For you, being trapped in a hotel in North Dakota during a blizzard in subzero temperatures will be a story you tell for the rest of your life. For midwesterners, it was Tuesday.
