    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.

    Haha, yeah, the southern states freak out whenever they get snow! It is kinda dangerous to drive on though, especially if the plows aren't keeping up. Schools around here are closed today, but usually they stay open unless more than 5-8 inches are predicted.

    I live in Ohio, near Dayton, so I'm used to the snow. We want the snow to come starting around Halloween or Thanksgiving, and then when it comes around Christmas, we are ready for it to go by NYE, but it sticks around until mid March or later. I would love to live in SC where it's a nice neutral zone, I wouldn't miss the snow one bit.

    Love it...we haven't gotten nearly enough of it this year in NM...not even the mountains. It's going to make for a nasty fire season this year. We usually get at least one or two big storms every year and a huge storm (for us that would be about 2' in the city) every five years or so. I think our biggest snow thus far was a light dusting of about 1/2" in the valley and 6" in the mountain foothills. Haven't been able t take my toddler sledding as planned this year because there's not even enough snow up in the mountains to sled this year.

    Best part about snow here (Albuquerque) is that even a little bit just shuts everything down because we don't have enough removal equipment and salt trucks. A couple of years ago we had our huge storm that dropped 2' of snow in the city and the whole place was shut down for about 4 days and the city was recruiting anyone with a tractor to remove snow...it was awesome and I just hung out at home eating stew and drinking whisky and building snow men.

    I love the snow, I love playing in it! I live in SoCal so it NEVER snows where I live. I have to drive about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get to the snow.

    Do you go to Tahoe, or elsewhere?

    I don't have to live in it, I just visit it. I love it when I do....

    In my area we have the `basic` climate, the all four seasons in their bloom.
    But I love winter and snow. Especially winter and snow in the mountains. :D We have only 3 months of winter and I would want more. :D

    Haha, sounds like the awful snowstorm that hit Louisville, KY when I lived there as a toddler-- there's a picture I've got somewhere of my brother and I under our patio table, which had a giant 3' cake of snow on top. And we were practically buried in the stuff. But I think our whole neighborhood lost power, so it got pretty cold for a couple nights! Luckily though, we had a wood fireplace, so we stayed plenty warm.

    I grew up in Montana. I left there when I was 23 and only go back in the summer...all two weeks of it..hehe. These days I won't even go skiing because I have such a low tolerance for the cold. Too bad we can't have snow without the cold.

    Hear hear! I can do without the freezing winds and below 0 temps and sleet that instantly turns to ice. Just snow in winter would be fabulous.

    I love the snow! Grew up in the north. However, my joints hate the cold, so now I'm in the south...still miss skiing though.

    Love it on a ski slope, on a mountain hike, or falling around me while sitting in a hot tub. I hate it when forced to shovel it, while driving, or when slugging through the black stuff on the streets.

    I love snow in October through January. By February, I'm getting tired of it. In March, it's well past time to warm up.

    Hate it. Grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and shoveled/plowed enough to last the rest of my life.

    So glad I moved to North Carolina.

    I've never experienced being in an outdoor hot tub in winter but I hear it's awesome. Especially when drinking is involved... lol
