Rocksmith: We don't get snow here.... not sure i'd like to live where it snows.... too cold!
Nice to visit places that have snow, but i'd like to be staying somewhere warm.
It's nice to have warm central heating to come back to. Finland has large central heating plants which supply many buildings at a time, but I have my own central heating boiler for hot water and heating.
I don't like it, when it's not snowing! Bring on the snow! Now! Four years without a major snow fall! Was in my mid-twenties the last time we had snow for Christmas here! Alabama is in a state of snowless emergency! S.O.S Need snow now!
abcWOMAN: I've just finished 1,5 hours of snow shovelling, 10 to 15 cm of snow. This time of the year, a palm beach would feel like heaven!
I enjoy it when it snows, everything goes quiet, and clean. Living in Alaska for 10 years, it was always a blast to go sledding, building snow forts.. I miss it.....

bodleing2: Sometimes the hound loves it. Sometimes he's not too keen...
Yeah poor mutt looks like he'd be freezing his watchamadoodle off!
I lived in a snowy country for 5 years. I don't miss it. Give me the heat any day. Today's top in Melbourne will be 24C (75F), 31 tomorrow for Christmas day. Nice; not too hot.
Sure, in the heat, say 35C+ you have to take precautions, just like you do when it is <0C. We have the aircon on full blast in the car; make sure you don't park in the sun, especially if you were foolish enough to buy a black car! Wear a hat outside, sunnies, put on sunscreen if you're going to be out there for a while. Buy a house that's designed for the heat, ie wide eaves or verandas, no east or west facing windows, good thermal insulation and thermal inertia.
lifeisadream: I do love snow no matter if I have to shovel it, yet a garage for the car would be very helpful. Although, i have lived only 5 years in places where they get snow "about" half of the year.
Having the car in a garage, tend to create so much ice on the car, if it's an unheated garage.
Does it snow in Mexico?
I love to walk in the forest, but there are limitations during the winter!
Imonwheels: Here in Wyoming, snow is great if its vertical, which is rare! Its usually a horizontal, cant stand up in it, flippin' blizzard!
We get most of our snow from the Atlantic Ocean or the west. When it snows from the east, it's usually snows very heavily! The cold weather usually comes from the Arctic!
