    OK I live outside of Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan and it snows all the time. I personally love snow no matter what. It snowed last night about 2”, nothing special, but enough to make me happy. :D

    I love snow for skiing and snowball fights. And it's very couzy when your inside near a warm fire and its snowing outside.

    But I hate snow when I have to go true it, be it on foot, bike or with a car.

    You, sir, have just made my "people who suck" list. 2" and you call it "nothing special!?!?" I wish it would snow here in Houston, but in the last 20 years I think I can honestly count on 2 fingers the number of times we've seen actual snow.

    Oh, how I miss Colorado! My two favorite words as a child: Snow Day!

    Come on up to Central NY State - Ie: the Snow Belt where even if it snows a foot overnight, schools are still open and people still go to work.

    Just a quickie fact:

    Code:
    Top 10 Average Seasonal Snowfall at Cities with
    Populations Greater Than 100,000...
    
    (I live 20 miles west of Syracuse - even deeper in the snow belt)
    
     Rank  	City  	        Average Snowfall
     1. 	Syracuse 	108 inches
     2. 	Buffalo 	93 inches
     3. 	Rochester 	93 inches
     4. 	Erie 	        87 inches
     5. 	Denver 	        68 inches
     6. 	Albany 	        66 inches
     7. 	Worcester 	61 inches
     8. 	Cleveland 	56 inches
     9. 	Toronto 	55 inches
    10. 	Hartford 	51 inches
    
    The Tug Hill Platau which is 1.5 hours north of Syracuse has an average
    snowfall of over 400 inches. EVERYONE who lives in that area owns a 
    snowmobile and considers it their primary mode of transportation in the 
    winter.
    Oh, and put me down for a LOVES IT! :D Well, you'd almost have to living around here. I'll take a pic of it this Jan/Feb when the snow is in high-gear..

    EDIT::
    Actually, here's a picture and a 2nd picture of Fulton which is about an hour north-east of me. That is actually extreme, but you get the idea of what it can get like in CNY.

    I love fresh snow but I hate the brown mush that it turns into after a couple of days round here.

    I love snow, we just hardly get any in Nottinghamshire, S. Yorkshire or even Derbyshire (Yeah, I'm in the middle, which also happens to be some kind of technological dead zone - 56k, barely get Channel 5, probably no freeview either... :waah: )
