Posting here because I didn't want to step on posts from the mets.  Regarding your coping mechanism reply, that was great, but there are a few other denial-based mechanisms which helps take the edge off.  Pretend you're happy for other areas which are getting snow, or pretend that you don't like certain kinds of frozen precipitation.  Examples:

"I'm happy for inland area xyz.  They've been shortchanged a bunch this year."

"Atlantic City, enjoy your snow - you guys deserve it."

"Looks like the freezing rain is going to change over to plain rain.  That's ok, I've always hated ice."
