I wrote the Encyclopedia Brown, and thank you for the rec!
I grew up in Pennsylvania, spent a year at boarding school in Vermont, and then went to Maryland for undergrad. Maryland is apparently just far south enough that they are completely incapable of dealing with snow (they act like it's a total surprise every time a few inches accumulate. Okay, sometimes more a few). So I guess it all depends what you're used to, but still, it always amused me.
