Do you like snow?

What are your earliest memories of snow?

What fun things can you do in the snow?

Would your prefer to live in a snowy place or not?

I like snow and I like to visit it but I would never want to live somewhere where it snows. Too much work and hassle to deal with.

Earliest memory was sledding without gloves. Most miserable day of my life! :bigcry:
 
Snow is just plain EVIL! Any fun memories of it have been replaced with bad.
 
I love snow! I'm disappointed we didn't get much of it this Winter. It's been too warm here where I live. Winter is definitely one of my favorite seasons, but I also love Fall and Spring. (I hate summer though.)
 
We used to get at least a foot of snow and often much more each winter and I loved it as a kid. Now we just get ice storms and quick snow that melts between storms.
 
lol I used to like snow when I was a kid. I don't like it anymore. Snow means I might get stuck in my drive way or slide off the road and into a ditch resulting in me needing a two truck. Snow sometimes means missing a day of work.
 
Snow just makes life harder. If you have to deal with it every day.
 
No foolin' ! It's a real treat to move on from snow shoveling to grass mowing.
Around here I just get a break from mowing because the grass doesn't grow in the winter months. My yard stays in suspended animation until spring. Now I have tons of yard work to do. Going to go work on that in a bit.
 
I looooove snow. I just hate it when the fucking place I live is incompetent and doesn't prepare for it, creating gridlock traffic and forcing people to abandon their vehicles, which makes a normal commute turn into 8+ hours. Can you tell this is happened here multiple times? Lol.

In your city do they also have "articulated" busses which they insist on driving around in the snow? That's a real riot to watch them on a snowy hill. Of course they never expect it to snow in Seattle. :p

Basically what happens in Seattle is what happens in Portland. Lots of ding dongs driving when they shouldn't be, but it sounds like Portland's response might be a little bit worse, especially in this last round of snow back in February.
 
Not a big fan of snow. Not a big fan of winter either...but right now it's starting to snow here.
 
Snow looks lovely and I had great fun in it as a kid (and even as a parent of a kid). But then I have to shovel my drive and, yeah, the beauty and fun kind of get sucked out of it.
 
I hated the snow on the days i was waiting for the bus in the morning to go to school
 
I have a love/hate relationship with snow. I like snow itself. It makes for beautiful photography and it's fun to play in. I hate driving in it, working in it, and the cold that comes with it.

And after posting this yesterday, guess what I woke up to today? :roll:
 
An ice storm?
Thank God, no. I hate ice unless it's where it belongs ... in an arena. :D We had a enough snow to make everything pretty and white. It kept falling through the day, but also got warm enough that it stopped accumulating and started melting.
 
As a lifelong Chicagoan, I love the snow!
 
Let's see:

One of the public housing deals:


How's that for a start?

I respect you for posting these articles, but this is really not the time or place for this.
 
*glances over at @DrLeftover and @KenDaGamer* Doc, I tried playing the slag Chicago game over on his board and lost; yes, bashing Chi-town is a popular pastime in some parts but relax y'all. We're here to talk about snow, right?

Anytime, as a lifelong Appalachian fellow, I love snow. What I don't love is ice.

The posted links were in answer to a question about Chicago selling everything but the snow.

So it was the "time and place".

If you don't want me explaining an obscure reference with factual links, let me know.
 
We're cool, Doc; I just didn't want you getting into an argument with Ken over the above.
All's square. @DrLeftover :hug:
 
@Webster Yeah, it's all fun and laughs. But yeah, on the subject of snow...

This is what how much snow we had in 2011. That was the 3rd blizzard I've been through.
 
I saw some snow a couple days ago while I was out of town. Its been a loooooooooooooooong time since I've seen any of that in person.
