I'm one of those goofy ones, I love snow! We have 12 ways in my language to say snow. I love sledding, x country skiing, riding horses in the snow. Hunting is soooo much easier in the snow. And there's nothing like ice fishing. I love ice skating too. There's nothing like having a big pot of stew or chilli on the fire along with hot chocolate after being out sledding or fishing........ Added advantage, not so many people do those things anymore, so we're pretty much alone on the lake, or pond, or hillside.
Stinging snow, sideways snow, blot out the sun snow, soft snow, good snow, bad snow, not gonna stay around long snow, snow that's going to last, blizzard snow, swirly snow, snowdrift snow....... yeah, in all it's wondrous variety, I love snow!
My favorite times are just after it's snowed, snow covering everything, building a fire in my yard, a full moon and hot cocoa on the fire, dragging out my lawn chair and just listening to the coyotes howl. It's amazing how snow illuminates the landscape at night, even without the Moon.
