It's not so much the fact that there's a lot of snow in a single sitting, it's mostly the lack of preparedness that comes with simply not getting lots of snow regularly.

I live on a major, major roadway that connects to two major interstate highways. There was no salt or sand or even trucks out there until there was already several accidents on the road. Once they announced the roads to be pretty much for emergency vehicles only they just about stopped plowing them altogether. I went outside for shits and giggles and around 2pm yesterday there was six inches of snow on the road. That's unthinkable.

If this was back in CT, or anywhere that gets that level of snow, it would be salt/sand about two hours before the first flakes and trucks every 10-15 minutes on major roadways, every 30 minutes on minor ones. The most you would have on the roads at any given time is probably an inch or two at most, which is mostly just what they can't easily scrape off the roads and whatever has accumulated since the last pass. poo poo would still close early, probably, but it wouldn't be the total anarchy that it ended up being.

It pretty much is. "Combat sports" attract some really lovely people from the teens to the 50s. A buddy of mie has 15 acres of brush out here and every now and then we'd get a few beers and go shoot each other with BB guns. Then we decided to travel to one of the fields 2 hours away to play with other people.

Sat through an hour long safety brief from a kid in a way out of reg Civil Air Patrol uniform, then sat around for another hour while so fat guys in their mid-late 20s had a screaming match with some teenagers about Planetside 2. Then when we got to the field itself and started setting up for Capture the Flag, I had a kid bug me about how much I paid for my cammies and he didn't even get it when I just replied "My dignity". Then after 2 hours of pretty much firewatch but outside I got to shoot a fat dude and his friend with like 20 BBs when he tried to low crawl around a dried out creek. Then they started yelling because I was too close when I shot them so it hurt, but I was like 40 feet away and those BBs fly all funny over 60 iirc so they we just bitch made.Then afterward someone's mom literally came with juice boxes while a bunch of teenagers and fats were talking about poo poo like they had just survived D-Day. My buddies and I just drove home and put down a case of Sam Adams after resolving to never do that poo poo again

My one and only Airsoft experience was very similar, except I had just gotten out of boot camp. I argued with fat middle aged men in Waffen SS uniforms about whether WWII Marines would have kicked the SSs rear end in a firefight...

In my defense I was like 19 but I never went back.

Yeah, seems to be the same for everyone that isn't cursed with a bad case of the 'tism. Shame, those things are actually pretty fun to shoot at folks after a few beers.
