Are you a fan of snow?

[Lilac]

I personally love when it snows and wish we had more. Of course, I'm an avid skier and that heavily influences my love for the cold white substance. Whenever I walk outside and it's the light fluffy snow with big flakes, it just makes me smile. I'm a weirdo I guess. It does bug me when people complain about all the cold weather and snow here. If you don't like it, then don't live in New England, but don't wish warm weather on my ski season!

I'm going skiing up in VT this weekend and I reaaaaally hope the weather cooperates. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and the mountains are barely open as it is.

I really dislike snow, but a lot of that stems from bad driving experiences and previous bosses who disregarded employee safety during the worst storms because "We live in New England".

I don't have any snow-related hobbies. If we could have the snow minus the cold, I'd be into skiing. I would like to try tubing this winter, but so far there hasn't been enough snow.

It's growing on me. It certainly took some getting used to after a lifetime of mild (really, nonexistent) Southern California winters, but I can appreciate many aspects of it now. At the very least, it is beautiful to look at and it provides a perfect excuse to have hot chocolate next to a warm fireplace.

I only like snow when it's on a mountain and I want to go snowboarding. Or on Christmas.

I like snow a lot more than sweltering hot temperatures.
I haven't been skiing since high school, but I used to like it. Every time I think about taking it back up again I remember what a freakin expensive hobby it is.

I like looking at it while sipping hot cocoa in my kitchen

I like that DD adores it and could spend hours making snowmen and snow angels (OK, I don't like that she wants to never come inside)

I like skiing on it, though it's been forever since I've done so

I don't like driving in it, but it's way better than ice

I much prefer warm weather, but properly geared I don't have a problem with it. And like you said, if I didn't like it, I shouldn't have moved here! you should see when my parents visit from CA. It's hilarious

I like snow in theory. For instance, I like it when it is pretty and when I can sit inside and watch it while cozy and warm and drinking hot chocolate. I liked it as a kid when we got snow days.

In reality, snow is a PITA. I hate being cold. I hate shoveling (yeah, with snowmageddon 2 years ago I almost broke my back). I hate driving in it and my jobs never close due to weather. You just have to get up earlier, shovel your ass off, and then drag yourself into work. One day it took me 5x my normal commute to get home. I personally feel if the town you live in has a snow day for the schools (meaning the roads are unsafe) then you should not have to drive into work (which is often an even longer, more dangerous drive). Too bad it doesn't work that way. Snow is only pretty for about 1 day, then it gets all dirty and nasty looking and you run out of places to put it. It makes parking a PITA too. Should I go on?

I've never really been a fan of winter. I've been tubing, it was fun but waiting in line was *freezing*. Skiing doesn't appeal to me (too expensive). I like ice skating, but in general, I just don't like being cold. I'd rather it be 85 deg than 20 deg any day.

I love snow! I loved snowmageddon 2010. That being said, I didn't have to shovel most of the snow. I love big weekend storms. We get together with DHs family, and play games and drink. We haven't done that since 2010 though because we haven't had any good snow storms.

Here is a picture of my 6'1 DH and my son standing next to our snow pile in 2010. (sorry the picture is so big)
