 Topic: Snow: "Love It Or Leave It".
Posted: January 18 2012 at 02:40 |

We just recieved 14" (36cm) of snow here in the Pacific Northwest of NA (specifically the south coast of B.C., Canada) yesterday. We average 10" (26cm) anually. A big reason why I live here is that we recieve very little snow as compared to the rest of Canada. Personally, I loathe the stuff. I don't mind shovelling, but it's driving as most other motorists don't drive for the conditions. Usually it's too fast. I'm actually terrified and have anxiety knowing if I have to wander out in a vehicle in these conditions here. Sure the stuff is nice to look at...for a day, but the inconveniences definitely out weigh the advantages for me. What's your attitude towrds snow?

Being from Chicago and now going to school in Michigan, I've lived with snow. The first snow is cool, the second less so... Snow just starts being annoying, cause you have to shovel, plow, etc. It's also a reminder that it's so cold and that spring isn't close enough!

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

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

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."

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

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.

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.
