Why does everyone think the weather today is crappy? Yes, I realize it's snowing before it's winter, but really. The snow is so beautiful, and it looks so pretty on all the trees that haven't quite shed all of their leaves. Sure, you have to shovel snow, but come on, people! It's a nice, brisk workout! For me, it was the PERFECT day to wake up early (and I am by no means a morning person,) get my day started, clean my room, then curl up on the couch and watch The Nanny and drink a nice, steaming cup of peppermint mocha coffee. It's a beautiful day, y'all! Learn to enjoy it, because if you act like this every time you gotta shovel a little snow, you're gonna be miserable all winter! Have a great day! :drinker:

    I take it in stride. Lived in Mass my whole life and it is what it is. Snow, heat, rain...whatevah!

    I'm not so much upset that it's snowing so much as I'm upset that the weather changed so suddenly. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons, and we didn't really get much of either this year (not like we really ever do). We got winter and summer, and I was looking forward to a spring after the horrendous winter we had. I wasn't ready for summer yet, lol. Just like I'm not QUITE ready for winter. I love seeing the leaves turn and we didn't really get a lot of that this year.

    My car is covered already. It's been a long time since we got snow this early. There are still leaves on the trees. Had to turn the heat on too. Got the hot chocolate out.

    I don't know, maybe because we had to spend hundreds last year to keep our roof from caving in? Forgive me if I'm not freaking thrilled about the weather. How about you just enjoy it and keep it to yourself instead of judging the rest of us?

    I don't think she was necessarily judging. But we DO live in New England and should be used to it. That was the point she was making. Not "Enjoy the snow because everyone else is" or "If you don't just enjoy it, you're crazy." She was just stating a point that messed up seasons is simply a part of living here and that we should adapt. It's not the end of the world.

    .. I'm not usually this kind of person, but the OP is on my friend's list and she's NOT judgmental at all. She's realistic.

    I live in Texas, almost the WHOLE ENTIRE SUMMER here it was over 100 degrees F. I am sick of it. I think I had a heat headache for weeks on end. Cannot WAIT to move back to the Northeast where I was raised. Cape Cod specifically.

    Northeast PA, and peaved because the weather puts a damper on my Halloween plans. No one wants to go out tonight. :grumble:

    And the zombie walk earlier had a poor turnout because the zombies were too much of a bunch of sissies to go out in the snow.

    Haha, I agree that it is so pretty! My only complaint is as I drove home every day this week seeing the gorgeous fall colors with the sun shining on them I had planned to go take some fall pics of my son...wouldn't quite be the same in the grayness and snow :)

    I have to admit I am happy this is a Saturday though and that I didn't have to be anywhere today...we all know how terribly people drive in the first snow of the year!

    New Hampshire resident here and I LOVE WINTER! Fall and Winter are my most favorite seasons here. It never bothers me that snow comes here, in fact I always tell people to arrange to have their snow delivered to my house (their cost, of course), if they dont want it...

    On the flip side though, I take a particular list of medications, a couple of which prevent me from being able to be in the sun too long, Im pale as a ghost naturally as it is and its much dangerous for me to be outside in the direct sun anyways... I would be the ONE person at NASCAR up in Loudon, NH who has to be fully dressed and covered head-to-toe in clothing... Who the hell wants to live life like that? I dont! I get real sick with extreme heat and humidity....

    So.. I welcome Fall and Winter willingly....

    Ah, it is only raining here (and has been all day). They got our hopes up with snow, although I don't know what trick or treating would be like. Granted, I love listening to the rain.

    A lot of people drive like idiots regardless :laugh: but yeah, I know what you mean. I remember last winter on the highway, it wasn't snowing, but it had recently snowed, and my so and I were driving slow and safe, but a lot of people were doing nearly full highway speeds! I was so surprised.

    Here! I, too, love the snow. However, I hate how many people don't know how to drive in it and/or think that bc they have 4WD that they can speed in it.

    I am in the Midwest and I wish we would get some snow!!! I agree. Every day that we are able bodied to get up and go, see and hear we should enjoy.

    Life is too short and we are not promised tomorrow. Think of people that are blind and can not see the beauty of nature that we are blessed to see.

    I'm from NY but currently living in MA. I've dealt with the snow all my life and I absolutely hate the winter and the cold weather! I love fall because I love seeing all the leaves change and fall was so short this year which is part of why I'm so disgusted with the weather right now. We even had to turn the heat on and don't like to do that until at least November. Plus, this snow basically came out of nowhere. One day it's warm and the next it's snowing, I mean, snow when there's still leaves on the trees, I don't think so.

    I'm not upset about the snow - I love snow. Having to figure out how to get ski pants under my kids' costumes for Trick-or-treating tomorrow, however, did not make me feel giddy with delight. This is the first year of my entire life where on the first snowfall, I wished it would have held off just a couple days. LOL
