I think it is kinda funny that my out of state friends and relatives seem to think that I don't like the snow. True I do struggle with SAD and the winters do tend to drag on and on here, but this misconception about snow is interesting to me. I LOVE the snow. I especially love it when it is actually snowing. Today the snow drifted lazily, falling in big fat flakes. It is calming and peaceful for me (particularly if I don't have to drive in it). I love it when the kids get all bundled up and spend an hour or more outside building, sledding (or attempting to sled), tromping and slushing through the wet, white stuff. They fall asleep so much faster and I know they are benefiting from the fresh air and the expending of energy. I love watching out my window at a dazzling white, winter wonderland.
What I don't like is windchill factors below freezing that last into March.
But right now at the beginning of December?
I love the snow.

Me, too.
I love the snow and the warm fuzzies it creates when falling.
Storming is another thing, but for now, we'll just stick with "falling" snow.
I agree! I love the snow at this time of year, but the frigid cold draggin on forever....not so much!! Is their snow there already? We have only dusting here and my kids are anxiously trying to go sledding down our little hill!
I'm with ya all the way!!
And you don't like the absence of SUN :) But I know you like the snow...and snow caves and snowflakes...so fun! I remember a snow ball fight before breakfast and playing King of the Hill on our "Infamous" Utah trip... When Brad and his friend took us to lunch...That was a fun trip and lots of snow. Love and miss you more than words!
I enjoy the snow from the inside. But I am ok with it just for Christmas. My body just has a hard time with cold!!!
Ahhhh...such cute kids in that picture! :)
I too love snow IN DECEMBER!!!
I love the snow too! However, too much of a good thing does turn into a bad thing... particularly around say mid-January with 50 below windchill and there is nothing fluffy and inviting about the dirty, crusty, hard-packed snow then!! :-)
