Average annual snowfall in Kansas City, MO: 19.9 inches
Average annual snowfall in Denver, CO: 60.3 inches

Exactly.

Its like when Northern Texas gets 1 inch and the whole city shuts down. OMG OMG the world is ending

Does KC, MO shut down entirely too?

Stop saying snowpocalypse. You are ruining the word.

Snowpocalypse means 10' of snow in Miami, not 1" in Rochester.

My point was, if you're not used to getting as much snow as someone in, say, Denver, 5-6 inches seems like a big deal.

2 inches in Atlanta gets the National Guard called in.

It's all about deviation from the norm.

we usually don't get snow, we usually get freezing rain that turns into a sheet of ice on every bridge in the area.

No, we keep on trudging along, although the schools pretty much all shut down. Once we get to 1ft of snow or more, things do start shutting down. I may work from home tomorrow, as it took me almost 2 hours to get home tonight (normal commute is 30-35min).
