Snow: The Fluffy Stuff
 

I hate it. I just saw some far away on the mountaintops this morning after not seeing it for five whole years. I nearly went into anaphylactic shock. At least it wasn't trying to get on me or throw my car off the road, though.

:candle:

I voted that I love it, but if you do the poll again in Feb. I'm sure I would answer that I hated it. It's still new and fresh for me this winter.

I do love snow, and I don't even mind shoveling it - but I do get tired of it if it snows too much.
It just gets stale.

I love it more than I hate it. It's beautiful and when it's actually snowing, it tends to be warmer.

I like having the four seasons. But, I do miss the more temperate climate of Pennsylvania, where winter lasted three months, and then it was on to spring. Up here, near the North Pole, winter lasts for five or six months, it seems.

I love snow. I love the sound it makes when it hits the ground, I love the taste of it, the smell of snow in the air, and even driving in it when it is coming at you and it looks like you are at warp speed (my nerdy side showing). I don't even mind shoveling it or scrapping off cars (as long as it is not going to make me late).

However, I really dis-like when people plow you in, and the two days later after math of slush that freezes...


Smiles :frog:

I voted that I love it. By the end of to day though, I won't like it much for a day of two. I have 2 driveways and 200 feet of sidewalk to clear.

We got 14 inches over night and it's still coming down. I have 5 foot drifts in the driveway. It's wet and heavy snow. My first project this morning was to take a broom and knock the snow off the cedars that were bent over, ready to break. I only lost one big branch. Those cedars are special to me. They're about 30 feet tall and I've been shaping them for 20 years now. They're plant children!:)

Enjoy the snow, it's only just begun.:D

Wanna help me? You can run the snow blower.:nyahnyah:

I love snow. I haven't lived in it for 30 years, but I still love it. I will not shovel it, though. If it snows, that shit's gonna stay right where it is until someone else moves it.

I LOVE SNOW!!!!! I'm a winter person :anothersnowman:

I love snow and I wish Texas had it more, well the southern parts of Texas I should say!!!

Voted "LOVE"...
 

... the beauty of the fresh fallen snow hanging on my pine tree branches here is breathtaking.

How pristine and magical everything can seem looking out a morning window after a night of snow. Driving up the road just staring all around in amazement at all the various snow/ice formations on the trees and bushes. These times I love...

Shoveling can be fun and artistic for me, but shoveling when you HAVE to is a big pain in the ass - and I HATE scrapping off the windshield of my car. (When the snow brushes easily off without ice on the glass, then I'm happy.)

Sometimes the wild ass kid in my LOVES driving in a blizzard. Sometimes my logical "adult" brain side, does not find this very amusing.

*AS a kid, I did make some KICK-ASS igloos. I would spend all day and into the evening working on them (taking a flashlight outside once it got dark). My parents would have to insist that I come in after so many hours.

And snowball fights were kinda fun. (I "packed" a mean on!) :cheesy:

So, it's like Corkey said, a "love/hate" kind of thing. And Unn said: "ask me in Feb.". And cabin fever here is INTERESTING late winter. Plus, occasionally I do get physically snowed in!

But, burning the firewood is heavenly. Watching the fire. Feeling that kind of warmth - and then looking out the windows... :awww:

And it's here, like it or not. When I moved away from it in the past... (?) I won't say here.

WILD

Stale, now that's a good way to put it after it's been around too long.

Pretty to look at when it first falls and play in when not bitter cold

I haven't voted yet. I would like to live somewhere that snows then doesn't turn into a sheet of ice within 24 hours. It literally stops our city because 1) people aren't used to it and don't know how to drive in it, and 2) the city doesn't have the proper equipment or planning for when the snow and ice hits. I walk quit a distance between buses to get to/from work and worrying about whether I am going to slip and fall is not so fun. So...I guess my vote is for no. But I do like to go up to the mountains and play in the snow every once in awhile. In fact, my college town got so much snow each year that we snow banks waist deep. It was great for building snowmen! :)

Snow when I need it
 

Growing up in the east, a place of 4 seasons, and moving to Southern CAlifornia (never will snow) left me longing for the snow at Christmas...

I bought a place in the mountains near Palm Springs, a two hour drive from home and driving a windy road to 6,000 ft. altitude.
Snow is now down to 2,000 ft/ and absolutely lovely to look at the mountains several hours away,,,,from my window in 70 degree weather.

thank you, no.
 

[QUOTE=theoddz;18776]Ugh. I detest snow.

I detest snow and ice. In fact, I talked to Mother this morning, who lives in Illinois, and she's snowed in today from last night's snow storm/blizzard. Her doors are all frozen shut and my sister is having to go over there and thaw them out with a hair dryer. Ugh. I hate snow/ice. Poor Mother. :cold::sigh:

~Theo~ :bunchflowers:

doors were frozen closed today on my automobile. ugh. is right :censor:

I would love it, IF and only IF it could snow when it was 80 degrees out, and still stay on the ground being all purdy! I just hate cold and I hate shoveling.

I feel like doing this :smileywhip: to people who actually pray for snow! :slapfight: Bad bad bad people.... lol

Growing up in Minnesota (Minnesnowta right) I have seen, driven in... played in and cursed while being simultaneously awed by more than my fair share of the white stuff.

I don't hate or love it, but am very happy to have moved away from it.

I love the snow, I just hop over the Yellow snow, usually left nice and pretty by the dogs! :dogwalking:
That is when it snows here in Texas

I don't mind the snow so much but I do mind all of the things that go with it...the salt that mucks up the hardwood floors and stains my carpet in the car and makes the doggies paws sore, the ice that forms when the snow melts and re-freezes, the list goes on...

I love watching snow fall and to see it when it's settled on the ground.

I hate walking in it though. I'm always worried it's covering dog/badger/fox/whatever shit:(.

can you all believe that i didnt see snow until 5 years ago? and then i seen again this year, got caught in the blizzard tryin to go up to CO. blah lol i fell in love with it

I like snow and white christmas , but please keep it out of this southern town .... we cannot handle it ...... we wouldn't have a piece of bread in the grocery store .

I love snow

Because

I DON'T HAVE ANY LOL
