None of the above......which is why I love on the beautiful central coast of California.
But the lack of rain in any appreciable amount is sad.

I don't mind a bit of snow (under 4 inches or so)... but I hate the wind and I'd hate 20 below (which I do not believe I've ever experienced).

I don't like the cold, I don't mind the wind we do not have any trees in our yard, but this would be first if we had trees in our yard, and you know what snow did to our area this past week. I live in Georgia. So for me it is cold. I will stay indoors and cover over with lots of blankets.

I live in Florida and I HATE cold weather, but to answer your question - snow would be what I'd pick. Wind scares me and the cold keeps me indoors, which I don't like.

Mother Nature insists on all 3 lately. UGH.

Wind is normal here..
A little snow is fine.
Never been in 20 below..rarely at 20 above..

We've actually had less wind than usual too..

We often get wind, snow and 20 below. :) I've seen it -60C here with the wind. If it was *just* 20 below (which works out to almost -29C for us), I would be okay with it. I can handle that, just layer up. I don't mind watching it snow. That means it's not too cold outside. It won't snow when it's too cold. Not a fan of the wind when it's winter. Makes driving very difficult.

I hate the wind, and I hate severe cold weather. I love watching it snow. Don't like to drive in it, though.

20o below isn't that bad if you're dressed for it and the wind is calm. It's a normal temp for us - though not for weeks on end like it has been - and people go about their business as usual. No decimating grocery stores for bread, milk, and toilet paper. We all have garages full of snow shovels of all types, so there's never a run on those either. Lake Superior, which I am very close to, is frozen over - something that historically only happens every 20 years or so.

50o below is okay too as long as you're aware you're freezing to death. That's rare, but it does happen and you just have to bundle up, go out and see what it feels like.

I would rather have snow if I have to pick between the three of them. I don't like wind at all, especially if there is snow on the ground. -20 degree weather is not fun either.

Moved to the UP of Michigan last summer and would have to say I'd pick the wind without the 20 below. however we are getting a lot of both.

Definitely snow. Love it, hate the wind and extreme cold.

Snow, hate the cold and since I've been through 2 bad hurricanes the wind terrifies me. I like a nice breeze but if it makes a noise it's too windy for me. On windy nights I don't sleep much.

I don't care for wind and terribly low temperatures, but I do like snow.

We've had a bitterly cold winter in Southwestern Ontario. several -20C Temps and lower. I love it. Our city crew has been super busy fixing broken water mains, the furnace companies have been fixing/replacing furnaces that won't start.

But when it's this cold it's sunny, and the roads have been dry, so driving is perfect. But when it's this cold I don't start my car The milder temps bring the snow, and we often get snow, drizzle and freezing rain. Ugly.

This picture is from an hour north of us. These are the snowbanks I remember as a child.

I'll take some snow, please!

Hard to say as we just had another big snowfall with freezing rain and another is in the forecast for Wed. and I hate the snow/ice. I also absolutely hate the cold - but then the strong winds made the house shake - and caused the snow to cause whiteouts. Since our dog is a snoweater - I guess I am going to go with the cold - as long as the furnace does not break down. I hate winter.

I'll take snow. For as much as I love winter, I do not like the wind when it's very cold. I can take some pretty cold temps, but the cold kills my ears. Even when my ears are covered. Guess it's due to horrible sinuses, allergies, head problems in general. (that didn't sound right at all did it? haha)

I'd take the cold over the snow! Sadly, we've had both here this winter. :(

I like snow. The wind scares me and the extreme cold keeps me indoors. We have had mostly wind and extreme cold this winter. When it snows, only get 1 or 2 inches.

None of the above! I'm shivering here today and it is 61 deg. Spoiled rotten (weather-wise) here in SoCal.

I love winter but this year we broke all records for snowfall. We have had it all - the bitterly cold, the wind and the snow and I went through all this with a broken window in my attic which meant my house always had a chill no matter how hard my furnace tried to keep up. Thankfully that window was replaced a few days ago and the temp in my house has remained steady. Didn't help that my thermostat was next to the attic stairs where the draft would hit it. So glad my 46 year old furnace is one of the good ones. More snow this week and cold temps.

It's good I picked snow, because it's snowing now and we have a lot drooping the branches down. I don't like heavy snow. Loved the powdery stuff a few weeks ago. This is sloppy and heavy.

Hey, there, Deb AB,

You forgot to tell 'em of one of the outstanding benefits of tourism in your area in winter (here, too, sometimes) ...

... that visitors can be given the opportunity ... and even shown how to walk on water!

Just like Jesus was reported to have done ... but it wasn't that cold, there!

ole joyfuelled

Wind...and I really hate the wind.

If I had to choose, I'll take the snow. Bone chilling cold is dangerous and hard to deal with. Really high wind is no fun. The potential for damage and injury is high. That leaves snow.

Anything but this freezing rain and sleet we're having now. I just know the power will go out.

I'm just tired with it all......
It's -5 here in CO Springs, with ice and snow on the ground, I just about froze walking from my car to the door last night because the wind was so strong and COLD.

20 below with no wind and no snow. As my husband says, you don't have to scoop or snow blow cold! That said, I'd prefer to avoid all three :-) but that's hard to do here in the U.P.!

Mothertee, are you willing to share where you live? I'm in Laurium, on the Keweenaw Peninsula, way up at the tip top. Been here for almost 6 years now!
