i'm living in a tropical country, nope i haven't seen nor experience the snow. i've been to the Snow World at StarCity, an amusement park here in my country, i had fun there, though it's not a real snow. Soooooo cold, i'm glad we don't have the true snow

yes snow is really cold and we just cant stay in snow for a longer time and we need all the warm clothings and also the good shoes so that we are not going to slip.

may be you see it every winter and that is the reason it is common for you and much of snow just creates problems like how you mentiuoned about the traffic getting disturbéd and snow storms and all had made you feel like this i think and i understand that something creating problems is really not so good but cant help it as some places in the world suffer due to heat and there are people even dying due to too much of heat and temperature, it also effects the farmers and dont have enough mater to their fields and hence they are fed up and the places with snow like the problem you are experiencing happens and there re some places which are good in all the climate aspects but there are water places where you find floods like tsunami in india and this all things in the world are common and hence we just cant help as it is not in our hands.
but nice to see your post and thanks for response and happy mylotting.

yes it is really sad, sometimes nice things also harms and if it is less snow then people can just enjoy it and play in it and have fun but if the snow becomes more and there is storms and harm people and it is really harnfull sometimes.

We haven't really had any snow here yet, even though I am on the east coast of Canada. It appears that almost everywhere else in canada has been hit with it but us. Though I HATE driving in snow, I love winter activities. We go sledding down the hill at the school which is so fun. We also go skating at the arena and when it gets really cool we can go out to the pond nearby and skate. Even just going out and making a snowman with my three children is so fun. My son bought a snow plow shovel last year with his own allowance and I have to say is so cool. I have found myself going out to shovel for FUN! So though I never ever want to drive in snow, if I am home I love to watch a really nasty snow storm just blow like crazy as sip on a hot chocolate.

I have never been able to see a real snow. I am living in the Philippines and our climate is so hot and humid. I've seen snow in the movie but in real? I really did not see. I dreamed that someday I would be able to touch the snow and play with it. I don;t know when will that be but who knows? hahahaha...there's nothing wrong to dream of having one..

you are right and it is not bad that you dream instead i believe that we need to dream and have some goals in life so that we can reach those goals and reach the happiness we want and i strongly believe this and at the same time we need to do a hardwork to reach our goals.
yes every people think something and it sometimes happen true and sometimes no and we cant help it as it is life but trying to reach our dreams is a must. and we never know what happens in life and i agree that there are ups and downs in life but sometimes good things also happens. so may be you can one day go to the snow places and also have fun and touch it and see it in real. so dear dream it and reach it and wish you all the best.

When I was in school I loved the snow. It could snow everyday and that would be fine with me. Now that I'm in the real work and I have to go to work to pay bills I hate the snow. Since I have to drive in it, it is not one of my favorite things.

yes i can understand may be driving in snow is a bit difficult and as well we feel cold and we need to wear all warm clothings and we have no space to breathe due to so many clothings we wear it and upon that having the cautiousness and driving it is difficult. yes when we have no responsibilities we would feel more better.

Well, I see snow every winter. I live here in Michigan USA... We had 3 inches of snow fall last night. In an average winter we get about about 5 feet of snow. Snow can be beautiful to look at and it can be deadly. A snow fall on Christmas is beautiful or driving thru the countryside and seeing the snow fall on the trees it is really nice. However, driving in it can be crazy and add to it the stupid people who own SUV's who think they can drive 80MPH and stop on a dime. They are the one's who make winter dangerous.

yes very true we need to be safer and enjoy snow and it is not that we need to put our lives on risk and make things dangerous and repent later for it. it is always better to be save and take all the precautions needed. snow is really beautifull and makes our surroundings more pretty and beautifull and scenic and hence we need ot take and feel this enjoyment and not risk our lives and thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

I love snow until it turns into slosh. Where I live we either get hit hard by tons of snowstorms during the winter, or we get the occasional flurry/slosh. I enjoy playing in it because when we get decent amounts of snow 8-16 inches you can easily make snowforts and have snow ball wars.

it is really a heavy snow you experience in your place, may be you need to face difficulties too sometimes due to snow as it is quite huge and heavy snow fall. here in my place it is only a little when compared to your place, i think it is very little. how you manage, do you feel problems with snow there and what you do for that?

I live in Canada where snow is part of our season. To me the first snow that falls in the middle of November is exciting. I always go out and take pictures of me and my siblings playing in the snow. Especially during Christmas time, it's one of those magic times for me. It just makes me feel happy and joyous during this time. However, afterwards, it gets a little tiring for me because there is a lot of snow in the drive way to shuffle. Furthermore, the cold gets more bitter during the month of March which I don't like.

ok even i have heard of that in canada there is really lot of snow and the winter is very severe there. yes i can understand that to play and enjoy a little snow is fine and good but too much of snow is really not managable and upon that if temperature falls more than it is difficult to even go out i feel.
do you feel difficulty in this severe winters and how do you manage it?

I live in Minnesota USA.
We do get some severe snow at times.
This is why sometimes I call it MINNESNOWTA!
Here's a shot of the first snow we got early this year in the fall.
I recall Halloween day (Oct.31) 1990 wew got 4 feet in a 24 hour span.
Nothing on the gropun here has stuck.
It's been in the hiugh 30's low 40's F so it all melts right away.
We got 3 inches so far but that was gone the next morning.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

yes it is really nice to see snow and it is a really different experience you feel as though there is some cold cooton drop falling on you and it is so pretty when settled down and you can just play in it and only thing we need to use good shoes in snow so that we shouldnt slip down. dont worry who knows even you can get a chance one fine day to see snow.

Oh yeah I saw snow and that too for the very first time in my life and it was yesterday only. I felt so great. My husband woke me up in the morning to show me that nice white pristine blanket of snow that covered all our surroundings. ah well it was very very romantic and I simply loved the sight of it. I went outdoors and played a bit with my husband. I simply loved the snow

yes seeing snow for the first time is really very exciting and enjoyment and we can also go out and play and it was the same with us when we had seen snow for the first time but it was me and my son who played in the snow as my husband had gone to his job and later after he came back we all were playing in the snow and it is really pleasant to see and also enjoyment to play.

I live in eastern Kentucky and there is snow on the ground right now! I've always loved snow! I remember back when I was in middle school hoping it would snow so that they would call off school! School was often called off due to snow storms here!
