@10: By misspelling their country's name, you are engaging in the erasure of their culture, and committing a horrid micro aggression. Basically, you are Hitler.
Re the possible snow Christmas eve/Christmas day, will the DOT Podunk it and have most of their people off while cars to fend for themselves in slush and ice, or will they have a sufficient force to deal with the potential road conditions, like most normal bigger cities?

Just stay home for the (average of) one day a year snow happens here.
