First off, I live in Seattle, Washington. Snow here is not INSANELY uncommon, but definitely not the norm. I grew up in a small town in Montana where we got tons of snow every year so I really grew a loving to it. I gotta say, there is something really comforting and amazing about the snow. Definitely better than the normal drizzle rain we get around here.

So my poll question of the day is, what form of weather do you prefer most during your winter?

I don't mind snow, I just don't like the cold weather that comes with it.

Ideal weather in my book = sun every single day, all day except for the period of 24.12 to like 10.1. where it's all snow.

I live in Florida. So it's always hot and humid here. Every time I have gone to see snow, I never wanted to leave. So that should answer your question. I love the snow

My favorite type of winter weather? Spring. I hate winter.

And late spring too, not early spring when all the snow is melting and everything is slushy, wet and disgusting

Rain, something is just soothing about it.

I just moved to Louisiana from Michigan. I'm from Chicago, so I've lived with snow and cold my entire life. Now it's three days before Thanksgiving and the high today is 80.

Like most Midwesterners I hate winter. It's cold, wet, people drive like maniacs, and the sun gets covered a lot by low-hanging clouds. I thought by moving here that I would enjoy at least a brief respite while I get my PhD.

What I didn't expect was missing fall. A lot! The temperature was consistently 90 until about mid-October and the night time temperature hardly goes below 50. The first thing I missed was the "autumnal bite", the bitterly cold morning temperatures about mid-September. All the trees are still green, so I completely missed out on the vibrant color change, the sights of leaves falling everywhere, and the smell they leave behind! Last weekend I saw my breath outside for the first time all season and found that I missed that too. The more I think about winter, the more a winter without snow seems wrong...

Yeah, I'm across the Puget Sound from you. Definitely enjoying the snow. My driveway (about 1/8th mile of 20% grade) was far too treacherous to attempt this morning, so I have myself a little day off! Tomorrow's looking good too.

I like when it's like -15C, so the snow isn't wet, and it isn't too cold. Just the perfect weather to bundle up so you aren't sweating like crazy or freezing cold, and you shoes don't get soaked because everything is frozen.

I'm not a fan of snow or rain, I just like the cold :D

On a weekend - rain.
On a weekday (when i'm forced to actually move) - probably sun.

Snow would make a wonderful romantic scene in a movie but sunny is much more practical to get things done outside.

Congratulations on the snow! I hope it stays for a while.

I'm born and have lived my whole life - 25 years - in northern Sweden. So as you can imagine i'm quite accustomed to large amounts of snow and cold. I can't imagine living many years in a place without real winters (that includes southern Sweden aswell). What I love most about the place I live at is how distinctly different the four seasons are. During the winter we get over 100cm snow every winter, during the spring you can some days go skiing without a shirt. The summers are pretty hot but not too hot and we have midnight sun (light 24/7 during summer).

So yeah, I love snow!

I agree with emperorchampion. I hate wet snow more than rain but below -10'C snow is my favourite weather product

! Snowy weather, 1-2m/s wind, no cars or buildings in nearby area and you are in paradise!
