I don't like it period.
I've been in snow country most of my life. Minus about 10 years in the south.
This will be my 6th year living in the rig through winter (5th in this rig) and fun wouldn't be part of a description...
 
I grew up in the country and some what loved the snow.
I carry a set of chains all year long and it kinda pisses me off I carry them for 365 days without tossing them on at least once.
 
One of the reasons I want to live in a van is to get out of Michigan after December. I like snow but after awhile it gets old. Ahhhhhh dreaming of the freedom to get to warmer areas. Oh well, at least I live in southern Michigan. I went to college in the Soo, which is in the UP and right in the path of serious Lake Superior lake effect snow. I will not be taking my van to Sault Ste Marie in the winter, that is for sure!
 
I booked my self through the first week of 2017 in northern VA.

Then I'm running south.
 
One of the reasons I chose the nomadic life was to avoid snow. Hell, I try to avoid outerwear.
 
It is already 81 here in Daytona, FL and I am dripping sweat after unloading the motorcycles from our RV.   Ok, so maybe not snow, but how about some 60s please?!?
 
You went too far south!
Or too soon at least......
Put on a wet t shirt and take a ride on one of those bikes.
 
I'm sitting in my cabin in the Catskill Mts., Saturday I was outside in a t-shirt. Sunday it was 23 and a foot of snow. Real pretty and the dog is having a blast running thru it. Love sitting in front of the glow from the woodstove and looking out at it. Occasionaly take the dog for a run thru the woods. I think I've seen enough though! LOL!

I love the change of seasons. Fall is my favorite, but when I lived in Florida and southern California, I missed snow! Therefore, not crazy, lol!
 
I was getting in and out of the car, all day yesterday. It occurred to me I hate the cold and snow because of that big freaking jacket I can barely move in. Also the huge increase in laundry due to having to dress in layers.
 
Where I grew up we had snow on the ground once every ten years.  It stuck around long enough to play in it, and went away.   :D

Now ~~~  :(  I hate snow.  Every winter this cold stuff comes around, makes the roads and sidewalks slippery.  Makes my van filthy,  Kills my spice garden, and makes my bones ache.  I would rather skip winter.
 
Well , the hate it's way outnumber the love it's so snow is no longer allowed !
 
There are things I'll miss about the snow. It's beautiful when it first falls, it's fun to play in with the 4x4's and I will really miss having the ability to set up in the back yard and shoot pictures of the snowflakes. I'll have to take a vacation to see the snow just like I use to take one to get away from it.
 
In my view, snow belongs on top of distant mountains, and nowhere else.

So let's put snow on a hostile to America's way of life list and usher it into a concentration camp!
 
I'm one of the crazy people that love's snow. It's liquid gold, can make a few grand a weekend during the right storm. Make my truck payments for the year and then some during even a mild winter of plowing. It also brings in the insurance claims for my adjusting business. I've always loved driving in it, love snowboarding, snowmobiling, winter hiking, and watching the dog romp around in it. Snow is ok in my book.

I know I'm on the list for a camp... I just hope there's no snow!⛄
