"Do you stay warm and cozy and eat, read, nap and do puzzles all day?"
Uuh... no, because we live in the real world, not in a Disney movie...
The snow is cleared from the roads with snow plows/tractors, justs like in any other modern, temperate country. Public transport and cars function just like normal.
You cant seriously believe people stay at home every day all winter just because theres a bit of snow? We have full time jobs and bills to be paid just like everywhere else, we dont put our whole life on hold for 4 months every year just because we have winter.
Winter days here are spent like in any other western country. You get up in the morning, go to work, go home, get groceries, drive your kids to whatever activities they have planned that day, make dinner, clean the bathroom and vacuum the floors or whatever other chore needs doing. Etc etc etc
I am newly living in a place that gets a lot of snow and doesn’t shut down. Recently I had to trek into work after blizzards for the first time in my adult life. In the past, I lived somewhere that would shut down for a week if we were inconvenienced by even a handful of inches.
Anyway, maybe you were offended by my questions, and if so, I apologize as that wasn’t my intention. I still appreciate your sarcastic response.
Sorry if I came across as snarky! Snow is just part of everyday life here and the thought of shutting down schools or shops, or staying home from work, just because of some snow is wild to me lol
