Do you love snow?

Ya. This is the exact same moment I began to hate snow.
Where are you in Louisiana? I seem to be the only gaffer in Lafayette.

I live in Cleveland where most of us just bitch about snow. I like it though. Except shoveling. Fuck shoveling. But it's good exercise at least, so fuck it but not rough. Try to enjoy it.
My attitude is, if you live in a northern state east of the Mississippi, you best learn to love snow or move somewhere else.
I did move somewhere else years ago in part because I didn't like the snow. Then I realized that I miss the snow and moved back. Well, the snow wasn't a major factor at all, really, but more of a "AND there's snow again" kind of bonus reason to move back close to home.
The past year I've actually been contemplating moving some place considerably warmer in about 5 years. And honestly, the one thing that's holding me back is the snow. My family has more or less said they'd move so I wouldn't have to give that up. But I keep thinking to myself, "yeah but I'd miss the winters". Haha.
Unfortunately, like last winter, it seems we're on track for yet another warm winter this year. It was friggin' 45° today. When I was a kid by this time of year we were knee deep in snow.
I can't recall the last time it snowed on Christmas either. I feel like I've been robbed Whenever there's no snow on Christmas!

Shoveling is good exercise and is very peaceful.

Give me your phone number and I'll call you when my driveway needs shoveling.
Gimme a foot of snow in the fields and I am a happy man. Off roading in my truck is a riot. I spent a fortune on the lift and tires, I'll be damned if they don't get used.
Edit: Minnesota man born and raised, so this year is the first time in a few where snow has been worth anything.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
In small doses it's great. Two or three inches of snow a few times a year and it feels like winter. We haven't had a good snow here in my slice of Ohio in a few years. Maybe a dusting or two but not enough to take my kids sled riding. If I don't get to take them sled riding it's not winter.
I'm blame climate change. Please winter come back this year.

Yes, but I'm fine with just visiting it once or twice a year. That's enough.
I like it a lot more now that I live in an apartment. Still, I bought my DS (original) with money from shoveling snow back when I was broke.
This year all the snow here melted within a day or two. Then we got ice that stuck around, so now the rest of winter will be ruined by a slippery frozen layer at the bottom of every patch of snow.

snow is pretty, relaxing, and serene - when it's falling.
but man, fuck driving in the stuff. especially on busy roads. i live in the middle of mn, you'd think that people would get used to the idea of slowing down when the roads are icy and clogged with snow. no, it almost seems like they're more bold because they're used to it.

I love snow (in moderation).
Seattle literally shuts down whenever there's a decent amount of snow because we're just not built for it. The hills/lack of preparation generally make for one massive unplanned holiday for most people and it's awesome.
Of course, if this goes any longer than 2 days it becomes a nightmare, but snowboarding down the city streets is hard to beat.

I love it, but the amount of heart attacks that woman seem to get around some areas make me not like it all that much as a result of what can happen. I also don't like driving in snow, there's to many area's around were I have to drive were ice is just to thick.
Edit: Snowball fights make everything worth it still. I'll tell you this though I'm not falling down to make a snow angel for anyone ever again.

Yes i do, i wish it snowed at sea level here.
Only happen very rarely here (once every 20 years on average)
The mountain overlooking the city normally gets plenty of snow in Winter though.

Remember that year (2008, I think) where the city shut down for two weeks? Gee, was that fun.
(Pretty, though.)
I do love snow. Love it so much!
It's fun.
All the women are running around in their cute snow outfits, dudes are flying out into the street because they don't know how to work the snowblower. Kids are creating stuff/having snowball fights/avoiding the clearly overmatched snowblower guy.
Driving can suck, but I'm going with love on this one. Mark it down.

Love it.
Loved especially the winter of 1963 when the snow was about 4 ft deep (and I was a bit less than 3ft tall) and my Dad carved out an awesome maze in the back garden.
Love the silence. Love the crunchy sound of walking on fresh snow. Love driving on it even. Awesome.
