The company I work for has a plant in Maine. Some of those folks moved here when we started up our mill in Va. Got about 8 inches of snow that year and the folks from Maine said "what kind of snow is this _ _ _ _?". They had problems driving on it too. We do get a rare dry snow here but most is heavy and wet.
