You guys have no idea what snow is. I have 106cm of it (not counting drifts), and each snowfall is another 20-30cm. There are at least 2 major snowfalls a week, and everybody makes it to work, every day. The snow on either side of my driveway is over 8' high.
Oh, and it's -30c. Whatever snow falls will be here until the end of March.
Don't let that slow you down though. I'm sure its crazy chaos there with those 5 inches or so...
