Snow: Georgia VS Massachusetts

I've lived my entire life in the South - North Georgia to be exact.  While the winters that I have experienced there have always been cold, the amount of snow that falls in the Peach State is quite diminutive.  Snow, if it appears at all, is treated as a big deal in Georgia.  When the weather threatens snow or ice, sh*t shuts down. 

9 months ago I moved to Boston, Massachusetts.  I just survived my first New England winter. Hell, I even went skiing in Vermont in sub zero temperatures this past January.  I think this (very cold-natured, always shivering) Southern girl did OK.  The point I'm trying to make is that the winter I experienced here in Boston was very different from my past Georgia winters.  There was A LOT more snow.  I went home to Georgia this past Christmas and it actually snowed.  I took pictures.  I returned to Boston and in January there was a blizzard.  I took more pictures.  Here's how the two states compare, in my eyes.

GEORGIA

Pathetic dusting of snow.

Our snowballs were half snow / half leaves. :(

MASSACHUSETTS

A small view of my route to the post office.   The sidewalks were covered in ice, but luckily I had something to prevent me from dying.

 I'd never seen so much snow in my entire life. So white, fluffy, and virginal!

 Yeah, the pretty snow didn't last long...
