Picture an adult throwing a temper tantrum. That is me. I am moving closer to my brother in Florida. I say it every winter but this time I mean it! Until summer that is.
Thanks for this!

I like snow for about a day during the winter. Then I'm over it, and it can go away!

Fortunately I took off today for my bday weekend. There is no better gift then not having to wake up extra early to clean off your car and drive in hazardous conditions to get to work.

I love winter/cold/snow! Driving in the snow is such an adrenaline rush! We're getting a bit of snow right now and I'm probably going to see if anyone wants to do donuts in the parking lot with me!
And I'm a skier too.

I live in Western Oregon where it rarely snows, but this year we've already had four snow events and I am OVER IT. I'm more of a Caribbean island girl anyway.

I love snow, and cold weather for that matter. Of course here in Sweden we are all sorts of prepared for that kind of weather so it doesn't impact daily life hardly at all if we get a ton of snow.

I love snow despite living in Scotland we are always ill prepared for blizzards. Our last massive disruption was in Oct 2010-Feb 2011. Where I live we rarely get snow as I'm not in the Highlands but when we do its so cool!

We get our fair share of snow here in N.J. and I hate it.
When I was young I thought it was fun and I enjoyed it.
Now I couldn't hate it more.

It's so interesting how some people enjoy snow and others hate it.

My pain is much worse when it's very cold or very hot. In cold I hurt so bad and in heat I get so sick. I could tolerate the cold well as a child/teen/young adult but in my 30's, I started getting sick and now have severe problems with regulating body temp and get very sick from extreme weather.

I can live without snow for sure. I live an hour from the snow and about and hour and a half from the ocean. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons.

I hate snow (as in it's cold, it's slippery, it's wet,)

but, looking out the window at how white it makes everything.. I can't help imagine narnia and that's a beautiful thing to look at

I don't mind the snow. I don't care for the very cold temps.

Most of my snow has turned to ice which to me is the worst shyyt ever!

My husband and I are seriously thinking about snow birds lol .

I grew up in Florida and use to laugh and get annoyed by them ( snowbirds) clogging up roads. Haha

Going over freezing today I would love. I'm sick of dripping faucets , bleh

We had a winter storm yesterday, and of course it had to be on a day where I had to go somewhere. I have a small, old car that doesn't do well in the snow. I was fortunate enough to find someone with a truck who was able to help me out, because I was in a tough spot.

Why does the snow have to come on the worst days ever? So annoying. I prefer moderate temperatures.
Thanks for this!

I am off the east coast too. We had a 20 car pile up. It's not really the snow that scares me, it's the black ice. I have driven threw 2 feet of snow before but you hit black ice and you are f*****.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Snow is pretty easy to deal with in most cases, it's the ice that's hard to work with.

I wish I could live somewhere warm year round and when I felt like it take vacations for a week, maybe two, to cold snowy locales for snow fun. And have extremely cozy warm indoors to retreat to with lots of extremely warm clothes, outerwear, and pjs.

I always thought that..Take a trip in the fall when the leaves are turning and in the winter with the snow.
