We had our first snow overnight.  It is early enough that it'll melt  but I still don't like it.  The farmer's almanac puts us on the edge between tons of snow and normal snow this winter.

Oh, how I envy you, as I absolutely love a beautiful snowfall!  Sorry, but I love the quiet it brings, and the beauty of a clean, landscape. Now, what I do not like is the ice that may develop. But, a fresh, clean snowfall brings me peace!  I recently moved South, and I miss the changes of seasons!

I have to admit that a nice clean snowfall is pretty. It doesn't bother me quite as much now as it did before retiring since I don't have to worry about getting to work.  We can get nasty snowstorms, winds, and ice storms here and I dread those.

I am still waiting on a tree service to take care of the major tree damage from the midwest hurricane (derecho) that hit at the end of August.  I have huge 40-50 foot limbs hanging and one will land on a neighbor's garage if it falls.  I have quotes from 3 companies and the first one to become available gets the job.  They all told me it'd be before Christmas.

Oh how I envy you. It's still in the 90's here and we are wishing for rain and cooler weather. I would love to be wearing long sleeves, sweaters and boots and watch the snow come down.

Those who say they "love" snow.  Sure, the first snowfall is pretty.  But if you have several feet of it in a winter, it gets old pretty fast.  Chicago has been very lucky the past few winters.  Hope it continues because if I never see another flake of snow again, it will be too soon!!!

I would guess that those who love snow don't have to shovel it, drive in it and deal with all the other inconveniences that snow often brings.  I'm another who would be just as happy to never see another snow flake.

I love snow, too. Here in Colorado it can never snow enough. Snow makes the economy here stay alive plus when the snow melts in the spring it supplies essential water for many areas around here and elsewhere. I never complain about the snow here...and yes, I shovel it every year and it's good exercise.

@SoftRain - I'm with you. I miss the snow as well. Former Jersey girl here and moved to SC - hubby hates the cold and snow - me, I love the cold and snow, lol.

Love going North in the winter and always hope for snow. Unfortunately, that will not happen this year.
