When I first started spending winters in TV, I thought I'd be happy to never see another Canadian snowflake again. This will be my fourth snowless winter. By now, I've forgotten all the bad stuff about snow and I only remember all the good stuff. Especially riding my horse in the forest during the first snowfall of the year. I'm actually starting to miss the little white flakes. I know they look better on TV than they are in person, but there is something romantic about snowflakes.
