I grew up in Seattle, but I'm currently living in Portland.

This year, we had snow four times.  Each time, we got less than an inch, 
and it melted within 2 hours.

Anyway, if you think that's bad, remember that at least they had the 
(poor) excuse of an icy road.  The driving here isn't much better in the 
rain (which is rather alarming, seeing as it rains here almost as much 
as in Seattle).
