We knew our twelve year old was growing up...last year it was " I LOVE snow!!" This year? "I HATE snow!" And she doesn't even drive yet!

Ok, if it didn't snow on roads and sidewalks, I'd be fine with it.

arvilla_trag, I'm so with your whole post. It's beautiful. I love it when the flakes are heavy and large, Just sitting in my living room watching the beautiful stuff come down is WONDERFUL. I do not drive in it but I don't care, I'm retired, and can enjoy the snow. I'm 79 and loved it since I was 2 years old (yes, I can remember back that far). It does cover a drab winter for sure. Let is snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!!!!!!

I replied to this in 2014 and I add to it today, as this has been allot more snow, well actually just started earlier this year. So am now looking forward to spring. I love all four seasons and am always ready for the last one to go and the next to arrive. The same weather would be boring. Come soon spring.

Darn, we haven't had any winter here in Va. YET. I'm still waiting for my snow.

SandyC. Boring boring boring. I hate the same temps year round. Love fall when the leaves turn color and winter when it snows. Had a house in Fla. and sold it cause I couldn't stand the humidity, heat, palm trees. Too hot in summer. In winter a week or two was enough for a visit, and then , I GOT BORED again......To each his own.... So they say. Enjoy your sameness....

SandyC, I spend the summers in Maine, just for the beautiful cool weather. I hate living in Air conditioning. Don't need that in Maine, but the bug situation is different. There are black flies, early in the spring .(for 2 weeks or so. I love the weather there even when it's raining. The air is so good and refreshing and clean. Calif, has land slides. rain, snow (in the mtns.) earth quakes, fires, drought. Not for me one bit, I'd rather be in the slushy , snowy, icy (for ice skating). any time. Besides the traffic in Calif, (no matter where you go) his horrid. Can't even get onto the freeways. Fla. is like that too. So many people who don't like the winters (snowbirds) spend their time sweating in the humidity and bugs and driving way too slow....I'll take my 4 seasons any day. I like change. Would get bored with the same weather

year round.

Well ,I live in the Mts. here in Va. and spend most of the summer/fall in Maine where there is little humidity (there are days!!!!! but very few of them) Had a house in Fla. and I couldn't stand the heat nor the humidity Couldn't do anything thru the day, just felt so lethargic . Lived with the air conditioning all the time. Don't need air conditioning in Maine.and the scenery is beautiful there. Sold house in Fla. and moved up north again. I'm not a beach person anyway, Hate all that sand. Enjoy the rocky beaches in Maine much better, even tho the water is freezing cold even thru the summer. I don't go in the ocean anyway. Do swim in the lake here in Va. and the river in Maine.

we are all so different:) I lived in Bay Area (San Jose to be more exact) and I didn't like it at all..boring area, boring weather..loved Oregon, but job moved us to San Jose. Loved Montreal with all that cold and some humidity in the summer, even though I can't stand heat and humidity. Now we are on the East Coast..I prefer the seasons, so that's better. This year we had no snow:(
As for Maine, yes, it's beautiful. We've been to the beach there twice..the kids love the Ogunquit area.

As long as I don't have to leave the house or shovel it. Otherwise, I hate it.

Big storm coming up . Can't wait for the snow to start. We're supposed to have 12 to 24 inches. I'm all ready for it. Going to hunker down, watch that beautiful stuff fall out of the sky and don't have to worry about my driveway, as I'm not going anywhere.... It's not good for people ,who have to get to and from work, and it does give the kids some snow days from school.(as if Christmas vacation wasn't enough). No kids for me to worry about, so I'm ready for the drab (brown and black) landscape to be white ,clean, beautiful and cold. Makes my fireplace even more inviting.

we are expecting the storm as well, but it will only be the weekend...I don't think there will be any problem on Monday, so no snow days for the kids:)

we were originally set for a foot in boston but now its looking more like a couple inches south of the 'pike, i couldnt be happier with the downgrade.

I'm in DE, so we are pretty much getting the bulk of it, which is fine since it will be only the weekend. I don't like winter without snow:) It's not even good for the garden, but I can fight with the nature..we'll see what makes it in the spring

last winter we got 110". i'm good with like 'a dusting' for this season.

Yeow!!! all at one time? Know my friend in Maine couldn't find her pick up truck for a long time as it was completely covered with snow.

no....not at one time....*faints*... although it felt like it at the time. it came a foot or two each storm, we (and everyone else) ran out of places to shovel it TO.

yes,last year Boston area had it tough..so far, this coast had nothing

As a New Yorker... BRING IT ON!!!

the snow started here and we are expecting 18-24"

printesa, we have a little more than 24 inches here in the No. Va. Mts, and I"m loving it. Feeding the birds on a small portion of by front porch that has no snow. They're flocking in. Squirrels are welcome also. Enjoying that beautiful white.....

Thanks! We got 24" overnight and we won't be able to get out until tomorrow at noon.. blizzard and apparently it will snow again. I have to watch the news on the computer because the cable is not working since last night and the tech will come sometime on Tuesday:) Until then, I'll watch the snow:)

I love to bake when it's snowing or raining!! Stay safe and warm!!

We had 2 ft of snow in the morning and it's been snowing every since,,now even more,this is what it looks now

same here, I have cousins in Delaware right on the bay, and their property if flooded :(

the bay is not good right now..so it' the NJ shore..We only get snow and lots of wind..right now, I cannot see the back of the yard anymore,,,all white and windy and snow

we definitely had the workout cut out for us:) A few hours of shoveling 2 ft of snow was pretty fun:)

We come from Montreal and driving is better in the winter because then the potholes are filled with snow... : )

I lived in Mtl for a year and my husband for 10. You are lucky there that you don't need to drive,,the metro is amazing

I love snow and don't consider it winter without some snow every year, but last year we broke records of over 100+ inches of snow which made life significantly difficult and did a lot of damage in the area from ice dams. So a couple of years with very little snow, would be a really welcome change. So far this year, fingers crossed, we've had only a minor amount of snow.

Getting too old to enjoy it unless I am on vacation skiing!

I love it as long as I don't have to go to work. Far too many people feel the need to drive in it when they really shouldn't and that makes it all the more dangerous.

Here in Western New York, we get more than our fair share. We are located in the area that made national news in 2014 when we got 7 feet of snow in a few days' time. Happy to have the sun shining on this beautiful spring day!

Here's my feeling - I love snow before Christmas, but after Christmas I dread it.

I lived in MN for the first 22 years of my life, now live in AZ. We go home for Christmas and the snow is wonderful for the holiday but I don't miss the other 4 months of it.

I of course love it when I'm snowboarding too, but the shoveling and rust that comes with it/salt I do not miss.

Jay L, that is a drastic change of climate:) I went to Arizona once, for a wedding. The heat there was unbearable. I don't know how you managed to adjust

Printesa, it's definitely an adjustment!! We've only been here for a couple years now, the summers are very hot. I like to think of it as similar to MN though, in that in MN you can't happily go outside for long periods for about 6/7 months of the year, while in AZ it's about 3 months. However, in the warmer months I find myself needing a sweater for anything under 70 degrees!

We went on a ski trip up to Pinetop, AZ this January and they ended up getting over 21 inches of snow while we were there! It was a pretty neat experience.

I grew up in Indiana and found my first job at a newspaper in a small Hoosier town. One morning, in the wake of a bad snowstorm, the locks on my car were frozen beyond hope. So since I only lived three blocks from work, I elected to walk to the office. When I arrived at the newspaper, my chest was hurting and all feeling in my lower extremities had pretty much abandoned me. I staggered to the front door, only to find that the office locks were frozen--and, as my co-workers all lived out of town, no one was available to grant me entrance. So I had to slip and slide back home. Five months later, I relocated to Florida and never left. Short answer: I dislike snow.

I know what you mean by needing a sweater:) I used to live in California (moved from Canada) and at 65, it seemed too cold, while at 40 in Canada it seemed warm enough. Now, on the East Coast, I am back to my usual climate,,,4 seasons, which I missed while in California.
