Snow

[Eroell]

Where I live it was snowing today, so I came up with idea for this poll.

Personally snow annoys me a lot.

I love it. I wish it was winter -- and snowy winter, not just cold and grey -- about 3/4 of the year.

 

Winter used to be my least favourite time of the year, but now I love it best. It was never the snow I didn't like anyway.

I like snow. I wish I could go cross-country skiing more often. At least I'm probably the only person in Warsaw who sometimes goes shopping on cross-country skis. Of course I leave them in some safe place, but I gest to the supermarket on skis.

When cross-country skiing last winter, I discovered a nice swing, and there were also some seven or eight snowmen along the path. From a big one, over two meters tall and made of four large balls of snow, to tiny snowman on a bench, some 30-40 cm tall.

What a coisidence, where I live it started to:))

 

I'm in school and to see that it's snowing lifted my mood a little bit.😁

I live in a place where it rarely snows.  I love it when it does.

I like snow, but I don't like months of cold

It doesn’t snow where I live, but I have been in snow before and I either loved it or I didn’t dress appropriately for it (like I said it doesn’t snow where I live so I used to not know how to dress for really cold weather) and hated it. 

[Squirrel Combat]

I love snow; I just don't like driving in it very much. Plus, there's the cold that comes with it. I'm dreaming of my snowshoe trips now, and I could technically do that now because the mountains are all flocked--kind of early this year.

I dont like wearing boots

I hate snow. Always have, always will. I just hate being cold, and the snow always signals that. I hate how when I walk in it, the snow gets in my shoes making my feet cold and socks wet. It takes hours for them to even try to warm up/dry. I live in an area where when winter hits, it snows a lot. But in recent years it hasn’t been snowing as much or snow will show up later rather than sooner, and it’ll last longer than normal. But that’s due to climate change which is much scary than snow.

I do like snow, as long as I don't have to shovel it or drive in it. Where I live now it only snows once or twice a year and doesn't stick around for more than a few days, if that. It's a cool change of pace. When I was at university I lived in a place that got much more show, and it stuck around for all winter. I enjoyed that, too, but it was a novel experience for me and I wasn't inconvenienced by it.

I like watching it fall, but I don't care about being in snow.

[kelico]

I love snow!! We used to get a lot all the time in Winter, but thanks to climate change...we've had maybe 15 minutes of light snow in the past 3 years! It's awful! I miss good snow. : (

You heathen!!! Blasphmey!! 😆  (*It's okay. Everybody has their own style/comfort preferences.)

 

That said, I hated wearing them too for a couple decades.

Scandinavian way  

 

As my teacher from southern Spain said, "snow is fun for 15 minutes so you can take out your phone and send photos to your family". 

 

I dread having to shovel it so I hope that when it does fall, it melts soon.

Oh. No such problems for me as a block of flats dweller.

It's a communist-era "big panel" block, no luxuries... but still, our housing association gave us an extra benefit: a guy comes about once per month with a mop to clean corridors. That's a good thing particularly in the winter, when I can carry a lot of dirty snow and mud on my bike tires and boots, and later it all melts into dirty water... I don't consider myself a person able to cycle on snow, but I cycle all year long nevertheless. I don't have a choice - travelling with public transit takes much more time if you travel to a few stores on the same day, and a car will never be an option for me, I will never ever drive. And skiing is only an option on relatively short distances and only on routes where there's a lot of snow-covered grass and few streets to cross.

[uhtred]

Depends.  Snow is beautiful and I like being around snow on vacation, but wouldn't want to live with lots off snow

[iff]

I like the feel of snow underfoot when walking, but we rarely get snow that lasts here

[SkyWorld]

Nice to look at. Sometimes, even to play in.

 

Driving in it though? Pass. Especially on hills.

[Guest]

I live somewhere where it doesn't snow. Or if it does, we get a 30 second sprinkle of snowflakes once every few winters and that's it. I've never been somewhere where there was snow. I want to though, someday.

[AlsoKnownAs]

I love it as long as I'm not driving while it's accumulating.

[Autumn ace]

From November to January I love snow. After that, having to shovel it and drive in winter weather gets to be a lot

[Duke Not-24 Memphis]

I hate the cold, but I love when the snow is that perfectly packable kind that I can build snow forts out of. Unfortunately, snow of that quality is rare where I am.

[Sally]

After 30 years of living on a hill and having to (try to) drive to work in it and watching buses tumble down the hill a block from me, and during years when it did snow in Seattle, now I live in an apartment on the level and don't have to drive to work, and it only snows about 2 days a year (climate change, I guess).  I love to watch it, to listen to the snow silence, to listen to dogs bark in it and watch people cross-country skiing, and now we just have grey rain all winter.  🤕

Opposite here, which made me a bit weird as a kid (and probably less fun, but then I was used to being the kid who wasn't that fun). Everyone wanted packing snow... except me. Sure, yeah, building stuff is all right, but I cared about aesthetics far more than fun. 😂 I liked the soft fluffy sparkly stuff, which requires lower temperatures than wetter packing snow. I wanted it to look 'perfect', and the heavier wetter stuff that's ideal for snowmen, snowballs, forts, etc. didn't look perfect and magical to me. Plus I knew that if it was wetter that meant the temperature was a bit warmer, which obviously meant it might be more likely to melt.

 

I still feel the same way as an adult. Snow seems magical to me, and I love the way it blankets everything and makes the world seem quieter and somehow kinder as well.

[Guest]

I don't do anything with snow. But snow interrupts my driving. So, it is annoying

[Luftschlosseule]

I love the silence you get when it has snowed so much.

[Duke Not-24 Memphis]

@Mrs Telecaster-to-be That doesn't mean you're less fun. It means we have different types of fun. Either way, one of us is likely to enjoy the snow.
