Love geography. Two facts that always blow my mind: 

1. Which is farther west? LA or Reno? 
2. if you're standing in the southeast corner of Montana. Which is closer to you? The Northwest corner of Montana... or Texas? 





Answers: Reno. Texas. i know, right?

That isn't accurate at all.  It only takes the threat of snow to cancel school in TN.  Frosted grass has been enough before.  Honestly, they build in 3 weeks worth of snow days and they seem to want to take advantage of all of them.

Assuming you can find a gas station with power to pump fuel?
