I must be one of the few people left who actually enjoys snow. Just about every last person I run into is straight-up bitching left and right about it. I get it, but my perspective is entirely different. I have memories as a child of giant snowstorms and shoveling and playing in the snow. They're almost all positive. I LIKED shoveling! It's something I still like to some degree to this day. The OCD part of me really enjoys getting sidewalks and driveways all clean and stuff, especially around the edges.
It occurred to me recently that I haven't been sledding in at least fifteen years. Probably upwards of twenty. There's a FANTASTIC hill right by my flat. I jogged by there recently and there's obvious markings of the spot where kids were barreling down the hill, and the spot next to it where they walked back up to the top. I "borrowed" a garbage can lid from my dad's garage, and hope to get fucking covered in snow in the middle of this storm today. WEEEEE!
I don't know, man. As long as you don't have to drive in it, snow is fucking awesome.

I'm a Seattle native and I loved snow, even the power outages. I loved it most when they cancelled school so I could play in the snow and come home to a warm fire and drink hot chocolate. I also like that clean feeling =)

YES. HOT CHOCOLATE.

I completely agree. But I almost always have to drive in it. Being an adult sucks! I need to go sledding again too.

Sledding...? Meh. But tubing...at a ski resort...with a tow rope? That's awesome!

I've seen what's happened recently when two inches falls on the ground in the south. : p

Dude, this sounds dumb as shit, but trust me: TRASH BAG. Big, heavy trash bag. Just plop on top and slide down. It doesn't work super well the first couple times, but once you have a path, you go way faster than on a sled/trash can lid. IT'S PRETTY RAD ALSO I LOVE SNOW TOO

If nothing else, I get to look like a complete idiot. : D (Har har, but how's that different from any other day?)

Dude, right? That's the BEST PART.
Actually the best part is when all the neighborhood kids that laughed at you are asking to borrow your trash bag. THIS HAS INDEED HAPPENED TO ME.

So you lied when you said you weren't a cool kid? ; )

Snow is pretty at first but when it gets all dirty and mushy it feels gross. And our car always get stuck in the parking space when we have heavy snow.

My kids love the snow, and yes, I love it so long as there is no where to go.
