The thread title's grammar is lacking. If you didn't copy-paste half your recent thread titles they'd make you look more like you actually care about the answers. Still, we do reply on our own volition regardless, so I guess whatever works...


I'd like to live in a snowy area, then I can ski and drive one of these, but... things are just different, not necessarily better; I currently cycle and have a car — same principles, different terrain. I'd be more in it for the cold weather, really, since I happen to like that.
Snow in places it doesn't often appear is a cold at best, dangerous at worst. It's nice to see a change in the weather and the way everything looks once it's covered, but going outside with fifteen minutes to get to work only to find your car half buried isn't fun.

In all, I don't care; life goes on. I never really understood the notion of playing in it, it's almost like throwing damp sand or mud around... Now, I've been in a 'sandball fight' so I can't say nobody would do it, but it's like people only play in the snow because it's a meme.

I love looking at the snow, but I really don't like being in it to tell you the truth. It is so beautiful. But I don't like walking or driving in it. It isn't fun at all.

Way back when I was a child and ignorant for new things. When I first touched a snow I had this idea to make snow cones and eat it. Tastes like snow to me.

I hate the cold, but it FINALLY snowed in Alabama this year. :) And I gotta admit, I took some nice pictures of it and it was a lot of fun to actually have a snow day my senior year. But still, I absolutely hate the cold. I cannot stress that enough. XD;

Snow is something I deal with annually and I've come to cope with it. I mean I hate the cold weather, I've always told myself the worst part of my day is when I step outside my house on a cold winter morning and have to walk to the bus stop. Oh God. I do not miss those days. Even though they're quickly approaching.

But nah, I like snow. Especially during Christmas. Christmas is not complete without a fresh white blanket over the city. But after New Year's, snow can die. I hate it starting January 2nd. So it's a weird relationship I've got goin on with good ol' frozen water. haha

I love wintertime and everything about it. Always have, and always will.

Specifically for this thread topic, I love how snow looks on a night when there is a full moon. Everything is crystal-clear, and the stars shine in the sky, and the snow (even after romped through by one of the dogs) reflects the moonlight. It's a beautiful sight.

It doesn't even bother me to drive in snow. I did for the first time last year, and so long as I took my time, everything was fine. I enjoyed that part of winter even.

Only thing that annoys me about the snow is when it clumps into giant snowballs on my dog's fur. She gets so cold and uncomfortable, and needs constant warm baths.

I love the snow. It might be thanks to the fact that I didn't actually have an experience in it I could remember until my teen years, but it was something I always looked forward to being able to experience one day and when I did, it rocked. It's fun to play in and really adds a nice visual texture to the world outside, sooo it makes for awesome photos! Though, I suppose the one thing I do dislike about the snow is that it makes getting anywhere such a pain in the backside. I don't generally go out, but when I have to and it's snowing, it really feels like a cold hell. XD;

Though I am generally a winter person, so I can get over it!

Snow is the superior weather condition. It should mount a full force invasion to completely obliterate the other climates off the Earth.

YAY SNOWBALL EARTH!

All snow-apocalypse based notions aside, I love snow. :3

I hate it as an adult, and a kid I loved it. Now my outlook is oh great now I have to shovel the driveway and the snow days will mean I have to wait even longer for the semester at college to be over with. On top of that Ice usually comes with the snow and I hate ice as much as anything in the world. When I drive on it I am nervous beyond believe, so no thanks. When I was a kid though I always loved playing in the snow and getting off school, I really didn't look at the bigger picture that it was taking away from Summer Vacation a lot of times.

I love the snow, but not to the extent that I did when I was younger. When it snowed last year, many people didn't bother to shovel their sidewalks, and it made it terrible to walk to school when the compacted snow turned into ice. Even though it hadn't snowed for a month and a half, there was still some leftover snow on the sidewalks before it melted away. However, when it only snowed for about half an hour this year, I was very dissappointed, and wished that it would snow every day.
I guess when there is snow around, I don't appreciate it as much as when it doesn't show up. If the snow were to last about 10 days out of the winter, that would be perfectly fine with me.

The snow doesn't get very deep here..
I have mixed feelings about snow.

1. It's fun.
2. School gets cancelled due to the snow.
3. Snow adds to the scenery.
-------------
1. As a couple of people have mentioned, the compacted snow/ice made it very difficult to get somewhere.
2. The pavements and steps to my school are slippery.
