Imagine the winter. What is the weather today? Answer SNOW. I was out once and it was TWENTY BELOW ZERO.
That can be life threatening. As you breathe you can feel the mucus in your nose freezing.
Perhaps, like our heat. Snow is pretty IF, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET TO WORK OR WORK OUTSIDE.
A walk down the beach in a snow storm- I do miss it-A LITTLE.

I think that has a lot to do with it. I have been noticing on this thread that those who are saying how much they dislike it also add on that it's because of HAVING to go out in it for one reason or another, and the driving aspects. It is without a doubt beautiful to watch a fresh snowfall from the inside out and then going out and enjoying the absolute silence that can result, especially after a heavy snowfall and no one is out yet.
Having said all of that, I could do without it. But I grew up in the mountains where I experienced a lot of snow and nary a problem getting around because we knew better how to deal with it and there were fewer people and obstacles to get around to clear the way. Now that the weather has shifted, I'm experiencing heavy snow in the city and suburbs.....not as much fun and much more difficult to deal with. We'll see if I miss it but I doubt it.
