Coming from Minnesota and spending a few years in the SF Bay area it was funny to me how weather I didn't really even consider rain (maybe like heavy fog that was precipitating a little) would grind the highways to a stop.

Whatever the most extreme weather is in a location it tends to grind everything to a halt and generates a lot of exaggeration about how bad things are.

-40 is fun, especially throwing boiling water into the air and how it doesn't hit the ground.
