I’ll never understand why people like snow, very grateful my family chose to get out of the snowbelt when they did

I think snow is wonderful if you don't have to live in it for months out of the year, every year.

When I lived in the foothills of Los Angeles county, I could jump in the car and get to the snow within minutes, if I wanted to. I'm now in North Texas, and although it snows here, we don't have so many snow days, nor does it ever accumulate to levels high enough, to ever be a real bother.

I only like snow on TV, with football happening in the middle of it. Any closer to TV is too close. Of course part of that is having grown up in the midwest, Chicago snow is no fun, there isn’t a hill in the time zone so all that sledding and skiing and stuff is a non-starter, it’s really humid so the snow isn’t good for creativity (snowmen and balls) and it tends to turn to slush and sludge quickly, and speaking of sludge it also picks up pollution so it tends (at least in the 70s) to be more gray than white. Maybe if I’d been somewhere that snow was at all entertaining it would be different, but for me snow is just a visual indicator of cold wet weather.

Which of course is why I live where I do. Enjoy your snow.
