    Moved from Houston, Texas to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Discovered that Houston's chilly, rainy winters really aren't so bad. I too have felt like taking an axe to old man winter from time to time…

    I lived in Arkansas for 5 years. It often snowed a foot deep or more. I actually loved it. I STILL like winter, though that is largely because I live in California. Not sure I would feel the same somewhere else.

      Californians who say they like winter is kinda like saying you like winter because you enjoy shaking a snowglobe!

    Minnesota. Home of the Practically Canadian. At least Four and a half f**king months covered in snow. The first day in two months when it's finally 20 degrees fahrenheit is amazing.

      I’m in darkest Saskatchewan; winter is here now, and will persist until mid-March or into April. We’ll probably have some snow (or a blizzard) next May. Dude, I AM Canadian!

      And the City’s snow dump site (where they put the snow after clearing the streets) has not yet melted from LAST winter. 🙁

        He is under exaggerating. Winter persists here in MN until april as well. Out winter is far more like 6 months + than 4. It snows here in may as well and its been like -20 to – 50 this year.

      Dude – back in the last century, my family moved to Minnesota from HAWAII. We had 87 inches of snow our first winter. My eyelids froze open at the bus stop one fine morning. I was … not prepared for Minnesota.

    I think nomadic tribes and 'snowbirds' have it right. Those of us who are semi-normal and actually feel the cold, should have society set up for us to where we can go south for the winter, leaving those who are of Frosty's decedents to stay behind and keep everything going. Then in the summer, those people who are always cold, even in the summer can stay behind in the hellish heat of the south to keep things going there…Ah dreams…

    I'm from Canada. We have two seasons: winter, and July.

    (That was totally a joke, it's warm in August too.)

      I also live in Canada. To make sure that no one gets confused hereafter by your comment.

      In southern Canada, the winters are harsh, yes (we’re talking -25C), but they don’t last all year like so many people think. The spring is quite temperate, and the summers get up to 30C. So, yeah, 50 degree temperature range.

      On the coasts, you actually only get the chilly rainy sort of winters.

      And the “winter and July” thing is actually pretty much true in the Arctic (but only in the Arctic (as in, way, way up north, in the Northwest Territories)

        Lived in Calgary for 30 years…I have experienced almost every possible kind of weather in less than a week. Also a temperature change of 45 degrees (-25C to 20C) in under an hour. Can’t stand BC. Always the same.

      I am fromt here as well. I remember when I could go out with shorts on a snowy day and be fine. If anyone is from MN there will know the blizzard of 91.

    I live in the middle of New Mexico. We normally get massive amounts of snow in winter, then our spring gets overrun by winter. In summer Mother Nature can't decide if she wants to drown us with rain or boil us in one hundred degree heat.

    Even still though, I love winter pretty much the only time of year that A: I am not sweating my balls off, and B: I actually find the outdoors fun.

    Snow is great! It makes everything white and rather pretty to look at. Especially here in Utah. My friend would unicycle in shorts to school with 3 feet of snow on the ground… Driving in it is especially fun! Though, I do agree.. shoveling totally blows..

    Canadian.

    Adult.

    Don't mind the cold, absolutely loathe the snow. I'll take a snowless -40 any day over a nice warm 1-or-2-degrees-below-freezing snowdump.

    Seriously, I hate snow so much. Go away forever, snow. ):

        They must not have books in Russia or you would realize that -40 c and -40 f are the same temperature at that range.

    As a New Yorker I’ve experienced all sorts of weather and find my experience with snow to be thus: OMG its snowing! Rush outside to make snowballs, realize there’s not enough snow, trod back inside in dissapointment . Wake up next day , rejoice there’s snow everywhere, run around like a maniac realise im freezing to death , head back inside in bitter defeat.

    Move to Canada is f#*~ing cold here but we are tough we are in shorts while the others are in Parkas. 30 degrees celcious below zero isn’t rare 40- isnt impossible 7 months of winter. I don’t even were more then a sweater unless it’s below 20- you people don’t even begin to understand the meaning of cold >:D ( evil laugh) really brrrr 3 above zero that’s not cold at all I still were t shirts at that weather. Were I live the snow isn’t fun though it’s so cold the snow is dry you can’t make snow men or snow balls it’s to powdery it’s like holding a fist full of frozen flour.

    I’m almost exactly the opposite. In my childhood… well, I didn’t HATE the winter, but I never had the bodily strength to enjoy making snowmen, nor the accuracy and durability to enjoy a snowball fight. In my adolescence, I was strapped for cash and shoveling MADE ME MONEY! And in my adulthood, I have permanent Unfreezable and negative heat resistance.
