    I'm from TEXAS, I can't stand it. We will shut the city down if it snows to much here. We don't know how to drive on that stuff.

    When I was stationed in Ft. Bliss we had what would have been considered normal snow here and the Post Commander issued a general order canceling all training and barring all soldiers from leaving the barracks unless it is an emergency. We ended up playing video games and ordering pizza so everything turned out ok but off post there were a lot of traffic accidents. I see snow as a bunch of white flakes of doom. I want nothing to do with it. I accept that snow is needed for meteorological reasons but I do what I can to avoid it.

    I love it if I don't have to go anywhere.

    SICK OF SNOW AND THIS COLD WEATHER. It keeps me from being able to go outside to enjoy the things i'd preferred; picnics, mountain biking, hiking, outdoor sports, music festivals, people watching while drinking a nice scotch and bikini season.

    We're currently under a winter storm warning and snow is going to start at midnight tonight.

    I was born and raised in South Louisiana and now live in Buffalo. If snow is the price I have to pay for it NOT being 95+ degrees AND 95%+ humidity, I'll gladly take it.

    What is this "snow" of which you speak? Your words seems strange to me.

    Exactly! I live in PA and we have NO snow. None. A measly 7 inches total all winter which came in forms of dusting. So all of this talk of "major snow storms" makes me laugh. I love love love snow and am VERY disappointed in this winter!!!!!:mad: :explode: :grumble: :brokenheart: :sad:

    I have an absolute terror of being in a vehicle when there is any sign of it (after a triple flip car accident one winter and a serious ditch nose dive another), hate it when it is on top of ice so I can't walk without slipping. Love it when it means a snow day so I don't have to work. Hate being cold. Love it when it's falling and the world is a winter wonderland outside. I also love it that it kills off all the insects for a while. But I'd rather live in the North than in the South (mainly because of insects) so I'll go with the snow.

    I used to be ok with it for 3-4 months, but we have it for at least 6 and it was getting old. I just learned to ski this season and it's made it much more enjoyable. I'm actually a little misty thinking about it all melting away in a couple of months!

    I like it for snowmobiling, and snow orientated sports, but I am tired of driving in it.. I am not looking forward to the next few days of snow, and having to drive to work.

    I'm not a fan of the cold, period. We've lived in very mild climates for the past almost nine years, too, so that makes me even less tolerant of cold weather. I am looking for my coat when it gets below 50!

    I don't know if I could live in a climate with NO snow (I live in Indiana so we get it all the time) but I'm an outdoors runner and I can't wait for it to be spring! Can't run in a foot of snow, you know!

    Hate it. S dash, dash, dash will mean for me this week clearing the TOP of my bus at 4:30am in the dark on Thurs morning and driving 40 kids at a time. It also means me shoveling since I'm the only capable shoveler in the family. I have to dig out a 15-ton vehicle. I despise the stuff so much I've made it a forbidden word on my bus! lol

    It usually depends...as the snow has pretty much made it so I can't get to the gym for close to a week and a half now...bordering on hating it..

    You can with running snowshoes and Kahtoola Microspikes when the snow isn't too deep or it's icy.

    I love the snow and cold. With the right gear, snow/ice/cold weather won't stop you from enjoying outdoor activities.

    I love it! It was snowing here all morning too, so I took my chocolate lab, Hazel, for a 3 mile hike in the pine forest, tromping through the glorious snow, loving the peace and quiet, the smell of the trees, fresh air and getting outside for exercise instead of running on a treadmill. I loved every minute of it and so did my pup. On Friday, I'm heading to WI to play in even more snow. I'm snowww happy! :)
    ETA: My profile pic is one of the snowy trails I hiked on today.
