Here is Michigan it has snowed!!! The white flakes last night were beautiful against the dark curtain of black.

I love the first gentle snow fall. I just love snow falling period. Those big fluffy flakes make me smile every time. My favorite thing to do is lie outside on the ground and watch as they fall from the sky.

what you do all like about snow?

    You shared so eloquently ...your words are beautiful!

    I love the first snowfall as well. At it's coldest in Winter I often wonder what it'd be like to live in a warmer climate...but then by doing that I know I'd be giving up my 4 Seasons! I could never give up Fall...too beautiful, nor Spring!

    I love those big beautiful large flakes the slowly come down so close that you can actually see each shape of the flakes. It's so fun to stick your tongue out like when we were younger and catch them as they fall. I don't even mind shoveling to dig my car out anymore.. losing weight has changed all that.. ..as long as I don't cut myself short on time...I find it a great way to get in a bit of extra exercise. lol

    Yes, I even enjoy the 16 inches that fall and everything outside is beautiful, so clean and a lovely white....I don't care for the dirty snow as it begins to melt and get all the salt on it from the road crews...lol

    Ah....thank you for starting this thread..I'm so cold lately (yea weight loss!:heart: ) ...it gives me back positive reasons to live in a snowy State. My body will adjust to the cold as it does every year.

    I'll pass on the ice storms though!:angry::bigsmile:

    I like it for about 20 seconds, til I fall on my *kitten* and ruin my nice work outfit. :grumble: :grumble:

    mmmmmmmmm. Nothing. It is cold and wet, makes the roads slippery so I don't do things I want to do. Yep, nothing. If I ever won the lottery my winters would be spent somewhere warm :)

    I really miss the snow. I moved from Oregon to New York to Florida and I miss everything about the snow. We are trying to get back to the snow as soon as we can. We visit NY in the winter because of the snow. I want my girls to see different seasons not just cool, warm, very warm and to darn hot to go outside even if you have too. :noway:

    I live in the Pacific Northwest and I love the snow. I am very excited because it's snowing on Mt Hood right now, which means SHOW SHOEING soon. Yippee!!! Last year we had a very long snow season, I went snow shoeing as late as May 15th, which is VERY unusual for us. I'm hoping for the same this year.

    Snow is beautiful..........from a distance :wink: :laugh:

    I love snow but I hate cold. I do love those sunny snow days where it's just at 32, no wind, and the sun is shinin. I love to snow ski. But I moved down here to SC where if they get an inch of snow, they shutdown the whole city :laugh: :noway: :laugh: I do kind of miss snow on Christmas. I've been away from that for about 4 years now. And as much as I hated it while I was there, I miss it now.

    Dont know what ya got til it's gone I guess. :flowerforyou:

    i LOVE LOVE LOVE the snow! everything about it! i even love to drive in the snow and shovel it and everything. My favorite thing to do in the snow has to be either sledding or skiing... and of course i LOVE snow days! which I will no longer have since I am in grad school... but we had 2 during my 4 years in college which was sweet (and almost unheard of)!

    The older I get, the more I dislike winters. I don't mind the snow so much but I really hate the cold. These -25 degree winters don't do it for me at all. :grumble:

    That is a dirty word! :laugh:

    I like it if I am visiting someone and don't have to be in it for long.

    what you do all like about snow?

    The fact that it only falls in the winter, and melts when its warm. :grumble:

    I lived in Michigan for 13 years, and I never got used to the winters!
    But now in VA it's still warm enough to just be in a sweatshirt, and the weather here is quite mild to me. :bigsmile:

    I don't mind snow as much as I hate the COLD. Snow can be fun & snow can be pretty, but I'd much rather only have it for a month as opposed to 4-5.

    I love to go sledding. I have not gone sledding in years. i can't even remember the last time i went. I do agree with some of you. as much as I love watching the snow fall and seeing it glitter in the sunlight on a rare sunny day I really hate driving in it. And ice. with snow can sometimes come ice and that is something I dread. But on the whole I enjoy winter the best out of all the seasons.

    The ONLY thing I like about snow is how pretty it is on that first snowfall, and how much more Christmas feels like Christmas if there is snow on the ground. Other than that, I hate snow!!!.....I guess it's not the snow I hate, just the fact that it's cold and dark in the winter!!

    I am seeing a common denominator here. Most people like snow but not cold. So really Snow is great, but for there to be snow it has to be cold, which people do NOT like. :laugh:

    What do I like about snow??? The fact that this is probably the last winter that I'll have to see much of it! :laugh: Last week we had the first blizzard of the season, after just having one this past May, which dumped 40+ inches (and drifts of over 6 feet) of the white stuff on us. I'm a southern girl temporarily planted in South Dakota. I DON'T DO SNOW!!! :laugh:

    I HATE snow! I want to find a place where it snows on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then is 60 degrees the rest of winter. If I ever found a place like that, I would move there in a heartbeat!

    I love the snow. I'm originally from Missouri but now I live in the part of Washington State that doesn't get much snow so I enjoy it when we do get it.

    -snowmen
    -snowball fights
    -snow angels
    -snowball fights
    -snowflakes on your tongue
    -snowball fights
    -sledding

    Did I say snowball fights? :bigsmile:

    I say .....bring it on. I live in central VA, and we really don't get much more than a flurry or two....BUT, when we get hit with a snowstorm, we get hit hard. We haven't had a heavy snow in a very large time, so fingers crossed, this year we will get a big one.

    I love a pretty, snowy day. Nothing like relaxing inside, watching the flakes fall......and enjoying a nice mug of hot chocolate!! Or playing ouside, sledding, etc.

    Snow is great!!

    It's the black ice, idiot drivers and the muddy snow when things start to melt that I could do without!!!! Bah humbug!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

    I actually hope we get a decent Winter here in CT.
