Snow has been falling in Central Illinois, and I check the back weather page of the morning paper for the forecast. Low fifties here in Northern Virginia, but I see the Peoria area is two color bands below in the thirties. It always seems to be at least ten degrees cooler back there; the weather front seems to warm a bit after crossing some mountains before it arrives here, reminding me of my Pacific West Coast December weather: rain & daytime temperatures ABOVE the freezing point.
If I want snow I can drive into the mountains. I remember someone described snow in the Williamette Valley this way: "I go to the snow when I want snow, the snow doesn't come to me."
