Oh how I yearn for snow. Year after year, living under the unforgiving sun of California. Never to embrace the cold goodness of snow.
Your lucky. I have never seen snow in my life. Its always 40 F or higher in so Cal. Every Christmas, you would see the sun outside and you would wonder, what so special?
I never got to grow up with snowball fights and I never ever built a snowman. I never got to build a snowfort or anything of the kind. Your lucky you get snow.
We could trade you and me, you're living my dream. I plan to move to California one day if life goes in the direction I want!

Give Boston your snow! It's not absurdly freezing outside yet and I'm disappointed.

Screw snow, that shiz sucks when you have to travel through it. People who love it are the ones who only have fond memories of it (example: frolicking). When you have to hike through knee-deep snow, eventually having everything from the knee down wet, then you'll know how much snow sucks.
Yes it is fun... only when you're a kid - or acting like one.

Dude, Sweden is the most peaceful country in the world, and with Norway/Finland, has consistently been voted as the top 3 best places to retire. Why complain? At least you don't have to worry about your next meal, even if you don't have a job... In US, you can't do shit without a job, and it's hard to get one.

Well one thing I like about snow is that if you are chopping down trees and moving them out of forest, winter is best time to do it. No mosquitos harassing all the time and no extra animals either. You aren't getting that sweaty compared to summer time. No grass to cut (well snow to plow but no need motor to do that).

hope you like to ski 
there are so many guys from Nordic countries here on TL, I'm jealous with your beautiful women, tons of snow, 100/100 internet connections, dreamhack, etc.
but wow, I did not know that you have 90% unemployment in the 19-20 age range. that's seriously crazy, I would imagine like street gangs and hooligans or something

there's something very serene and peaceful in snow. i remember going snowboarding one day, and to our luck, it had powder snowed like 2 feet the whole night. cutting new paths through the fresh snow, falling snowflakes getting caught in your beard, thinking of nothing but what you see in front of you, it's one of those very special experiences.
plus when it snows, i can sing along to cold wind blows (rhyme muthafucka!)

Snow and ice already on ground and cold winter coming... This won't make my bicycling easy =/

Snow is overrated imo. I think a lot of people don't realize the ridiculous annoyances that come with snow. Scraping ice off of your windows every morning in -10 to -20 Fahrenheit ( seriously we need to switch to metric) weather is one of the most bitter things ever. On top of being pretty bitter it also adds a lot of time to your morning routine because not only do you have to spend time scraping your windows, but usually you have to give your car a fair amount of time to warm up.
It makes driving a pain in the ass because not only the road is slippery, but most people drive like maniacs on top of it. Nothing like driving in a blizzard were you can only see a 3-4 car lengths in front of you ( sometimes worse ) with everyone driving 75+ mph 3 feet off of each others' bumpers. If the road isn't overly slick it is because it has been salted. If it has been salted it means that it is coating your car in this really nasty hard to clean gunk that usually won't be very cleanable until after winter which is also really cool.
On top of all of that snow also, as stated in the OP, has the tendency to get you pretty wet. Pretty damn unpleasant wearing cold wet clothing imo. Usually the bottoms of my pants get soaked every morning and I have to spend a good bit of the day with wet jean bottoms. It also tanks the air quality leaving this acrid horrible air that you get the fine opportunity to breath in all day.
Some of this could be Utah specific, like the over salting, but honestly snow isn't all glamor as Hollywood tends to portray it. I actually enjoy sledding, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, but compared to the everyday inconvenience of snow I am not sure it is worth it all the time. I would much prefer it if it just stayed up in the mountains.

I know how you feel, i hate snow too !

The grass is always greener on the other side

Oh how i miss the snow, when i used to live in CO i absolutely loved the snow, shoving out the driveway/driving on the icy road did get a bit annoying i guess T_T. Now that i live under the hot sun of CA i might just be having the "grass is greener on the other side" effect, but still man,
snow is awesome

Snow > Rain at least (Last year we had 30+ consecutive days of rain) It pretty much rains and rains and rains.
fuck no rain >>>>> snow
it's like the reason i live in vancouver, a compromise between warmer weather and canada.
it doesn't even rain that much tbh, only like 1/2 of the time

Man, I fuck snow, if snow was a guy I'd shoot him hard in the face.

snow is pretty awesome, first snow came almost a month ago and now it has settled for the past week, although it's prolly gonna melt next week. but snow rocks.
if you didn't hate it so much I'd recommend you to come to norway and get a job, like 30% of my coworkers are swedish and swedes are generally considered good workers! =P pays more than in sweden too!

You must be one of the few Scandinavians with the viking blood in your veins still intact!
