Hell, up here we haven't had hardly any snow this year (a light dusting last night, possibly an inch or so coming this weekend). In fact, yesterday was the first day in about 2 weeks where the high temperature didn't make it above 35 degrees.
In Minneapolis, 6 inches of snow is considered a 'minor inconvenience'. Our first big snowstorm last winter caused the Minneapolis schools to close for the first time in (IIRC) 18 years.
The second big snowstorm (the on the collapsed the Metrodome roof) didn't cause any school cancellations, although it did postpone some games that were scheduled on the Saturday before the dome collapse.
