Expand Ha right, you can use any perspective to shape your mindset. I mean can also pull up photos of like Lake Tahoe's big storms earlier this season and be like "wow, it sucks where we live, just never snows and it's all just nuisance level snowfall."

That is pretty rough but at least out there if it doesn't snow it's not like brutal cold and the sun is probably out 98% of the time. Probably like a month of skiing like VT gets in the spring.
