For those who want snow just remember the winter we had a couple of years ago. Those memories will suffice for a long time to come. It changed my mind about snow. I used to like it. Notice the past tense.

We were just discussing this. I, personally, could very easily go for a winter with no snow, or at best, they kind that simply 'sweeps' away the next morning. That record for '49-'50 works for me!

I understand what you're saying about the big snowstorm we had, but I'm still in school, so I'd love more snow.

I love the snow!
I can understand how some ppl don't want the large amounts that distrupt our lives for days. But I find it hard to believe so many ppl now hate snow. A nice 3 to 6 inch blanket of snow several times a year is great and in most areas that amount is cleared as it snows.
FYI I even love clearing the sidewalks for my family and my less able neighbors, one of witch turned 100 this year and still demands I take a quarter for my troubles :) my has times have changed in her life.
