hmmm used to love it, as I've been getting older it's moving to dislike.
Can't say loathe (yet) but I generally am not too excited about it. Last winter accelerated it...snowed every damn week for a while, we had like 6 feet of snow piled up on the lawn. It was higher than I!
It's still nice though. Oddly enough I like shoveling it.
It's the pain in the ass it causes that really gripes me the most.

I refer to snow as the DWS - the Dreaded White Stuff. I don't see how anyone who's ever had to shovel snow or drive in snow can actually like the stuff.

Around here we usually either get snow, or -30 (like it was this morning). Given the option, I'll take snow.

In my 27th winter here in PA I've solidly moved over from love to loathe. Too old for sled riding and snowman building with no interest in skiing or snowboarding. Snow to me is just a pain in the ass that requires shoveling and inhibits mobility.

I say "let that krapp fall!" I love it...Gives me an awesome reason to work from home and listen to music all day while working.
I stayed home yesterday and today. The 2nd storm came in last night about 2:30am and its still falling as of 8am PST....total only have about 6" (lets see 6 x 25.4 ÷ 10) 15.2cm and we are suppose to end up with about 12" (damn another math problem...12 x 25.4 ÷ 10) 30.5cm 
I mainly stay home for safety reasons, I can control my car in the snow but I cannot control other people in their cars....better to be safe than sorry.

Loathing comes with age, though I still like the look of fresh snow.

The problem with my neck of the woods is when we get precipitation in winter it's too warm for snow. Then we get hit hit with ice storms on occasion. Those are a lot of fun, not.  Back to the sex and snow thing I was reminded of a Tori Amos line: "when you're only wet because of all the rain."

I think it's one of things where the less you get the more you like it.
