Do you like the snow?

[Icebot]

I know some people like the snow, love it, can't stand it, etc. I used to love the snow as a kid, but now, not so much, especially driving in it. What about you?

[Spike Spiegel]

Snow's fine as long as it doesn't turn to ice...

[IndigoErth]

It's ok as long as I don't have to deal with it much. Was a little disappointment that my area got gypped on the northeast (U.S.) snowstorm a couple weeks ago. We've had very little snow this year, however I don't care for it when it snows too often. I would gladly take one big snow for a week and then let Spring start.

Since it only snows about once every five years where I am, I love it. If I lived up North and saw it all the time, I imagine I wouldn't.

I got screwed from that storm also. They cancelled work that day and we got 4". Then Monday it dumped over a foot of snow and I had to go into work. I'm prepared for it but it seems most businesses don't know how to prepare. You'd think they'd have it down by now.

Growing up in Richmond, I actually really liked snow. We didn't get it too often, and we were almost always guaranteed a snow day. My area was never too bad, but some of the students lived in more rural areas of my county, so the school buses couldn't get there easily, hence why they'd just give the entire county a snow day.

Having lived here in Yamagata these past nearly 3 -4 years...I think I'm starting to get sick of snow. It starts snowing in about late November on and off up until spring. This year hasn't been as bad as say last year, but when it does, it piles up so much and I hate shoveling. lol

That aside, I'm trying to get a new job and move to Tokyo. The winters are milder down there...similar to maybe how Richmond gets snow.

I love the snow, always have. Only seen it a handful of times in my life, and even after being snowed in when I needed medical attention, I still love it. If that wasn't going to change my mind about the snow, nothing will. It's wonderful.

My father grew up in New York. He loathes snow. As a child, I never could understand why. Snow, to me, was always fun to play in. For him, it meant a lot of shoveling for his parents since they got it so much and so often and snow days were a rarity (unheard of actually, according to him, when growing up). I think I get it now. lol

A person who lives in a place that seldom gets snow more than likely will enjoy it more than say someone who's faced with it all winter, every winter.

We got graupel one year. http://weather.about.com/od/g/g/graupel.htm
I've even seen some light snow flurries on Christmas Eve some years ago.
But the last time my city has seen and received any real substantial amount of snowfall was in January of 1985.
It doesn't really get cold enough for snow here.
It even feels odd to type that we're practically thirty years overdue. :'

I have to say it kind of made me laugh (or was that a mild variation of annoyance...) couple weeks ago when the news channels were talking about NYC as if they never faced the prospect of getting snow before. Come on guys... You have seen this before. If it was Atlanta again I could understand. Ok, and maybe a city's roads are harder to clear out than elsewhere, but still.

And then people were supposedly mad over the weather emergency closure when they didn't get "enough". Silly people, I love the closures. Whole family stays cozy at home, it's so quiet outside, something that is prob rare for a city. Savor it! Then go out and hunt for Turtle tracks. (But if you follow the tracks to their home at least be nice and take them hot chocolate.)

Don't get snow very often in the south of England so when it does show it's face it's kinda cool

Hahaha, cool...see what I did......Ill get my coat

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Snow? What is this snow you all speak of? Please explain. (No, kidding. But as we rarely ever see any REAL snow, it's almost a supernatural phenomenon around here. Seen it all of maybe a dozen times in my entire life.)

That white crap we usually get here is not "snow" but ice, usually. Lots and lots of ice- little crystals of it that freeze, melt on the way down, freeze again, and then pile up to make thick layers of it. Then it thaws after a day or so to turn into nasty slush, before refreezing AGAIN, and it's just a nasty cycle until the weather warms enough to melt it all and get rid of it. Hate that. Cars can barely drive on it (not that anyone here knows how to drive on slick or snowy roads to begin with) and people freak out like it's the end of the world, and turn into utter idiots. I mean, more so than usual.

[Prowler]

Dunno. Never experienced it.

[Candy Kappa]

It's okay during Yule times, but beyond that I'm not too fond of snow. Especially when it causes traffic issues and delays.

ice under the snow is worse.

[BubblyShell22]

I despise the snow and always will. I hate it when the snow gets slippery and I almost fall or when there's ice underneath it. Just a pain all around.

[Leonardo322]

I like to look at the snow for part of the year, and then enjoy the Spring and Summer. Snow is okay if you don't have to drive in it.

Let it snow!

Yup!
I assume you can relate to this: NO SCHOOL!

[Candy Kappa]

I think the only time I've experienced a School Closed incident due to snow, was when I was taking my bachelor in the UK... 2 inches of snow and the whole city crumbled in chaos, trains had derailed and there was fires...

in Norway, if you are delayed by snow for school, you should not be later then 30 minutes, even if you have to dig yourself out.

[Fang Wolf]

No I don't like snow + there can be ice under it!.
(Now I want summer)
