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

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.

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.

When the alternate is black ice, snow is OK to drive on

Still being in school, I absolutely love snow. We finally started to get snow this whole school year on Sunday and today and yesterday are snow days for school. I live in the Northwest part of the U.S. and we got hit by this snowstorm thing in the A.M. Around 8 inches on the ground, which is amazing. I made an igloo with my friends today. :P
It doesn't snow to often around here. Just rain rain rain!

I love snow, I am an avid skier, and we are seriously lacking some here in Qc.

Certainly does change with age. I still like it, but not as enthralled as I was when I was young. Definitely gives me a reason to stay indoors and at home.

It seems to become a snowless winter in Belgium once again. The last few years we had some old fashioned winter months with snow, which was great. Now things seem to be back to global warming - normal again  I do miss the fact that the four seasons of my youth are lost. Winters are often rainy as late autumns, springs turn often hot as summer, substantial parts of summer often turn out as rainy as late autumns, only early autumn seems to have remained a normal season. Hopefully February will still be different.

I like snow, but hate it when it begins to melt, making everywhere look a bit daggy... Mind you, coming from a country which grinds to an embarrassing halt if so much as 1/2 inch of snow falls, opinions seem to be divided.

Love it - but it is keeping me from playing golf, so only a few weeks mid winter, then sun and dry.

I grew up in Russia with heavy winters followed by incredibly dirty melting periods so I really hate snowy winters as a whole. I love the fun aspects of snow, but not having a whole season of it.

Had to drive home in a snowstorm today.
Currently I'm brewing up some chili. The perfect antidote.

Loving it immensely until mid February.
After that, until it melt completely, loathing it passionately.

I think Rob referred to the albums by Spock’s Beard. Anyway, sex would be VI.

Hell, here in SE US plenty of us go completely nutso over a light dusting. There seems to be a big run on bread and milk at the stores for some reason.  Do you guys have a similar phenomenon?
