It snows here several times a year and I can drive up into the mountains to see snow any day of the year.
Where I grew up, it rarely snowed, but I always got really excited when it did.
Now, it is kind of a pain to shovel it off the cars and the sidewalks all the time in the winter, but it can be kind of fun to make an igloo in the back yard with my daughter if we get the right kind of snow for that. Sledding is fun, too.
