Two dudes from Upstate NY, doing Extremely Upstate NY Things, but in Virginia, because Virginia isn't good at doing Upstate NY Things.

Two welders got stuck on I-95. They shoved aside two trees to escape.
After traffic stopped and drivers spent the night in their cars, these two men served coffee and eventually cleared a path.

2. I lived 6 years in Chicago during the 1990s

When I tell people I'm originally from Florida and they ask "aren't you scared of the winters in Virginia?", my response is "I lived in Chicago once, the winters here don't scare me." That said, I typically stay off the roads when its snowing because while I trust my driving, I don't trust the driving skills of others on the road.

The winters Virginia typically gets are like a dusting in Upstate NY. Blue collar guys get stuff done when its needed.
