Ok , I love snow

So do I. In theory, and provided I don't *have* to go out when it's actually
blizzarding

Don't you find that walking through a blizzard is exhilarating? Though
admittedly one doesn't want to do it for too long. As a non-driver, it's
rain (especially if combined with strong winds) that I hate rather than
snow. With snow, you can brush it off before it melts on you, and you
rarely get really wet.

or lying deep on the roads. I love it when I am on skis and the
sun is shining on it. I hate it when it is wet and dirty and melting.

Oh yes, that is horrid.

In a perfect world there would be tons of powdery snow above say 1500 feet
above sea level, and none at all below that.

It would be at least 150 miles away from me, then, which wouldn't be
very useful.

There would. furthermore, never
be any dreich grey days.

We've had far too many of them already this winter. At least if we get
an Arctic airstream next week most of us should get some sun from time
to time.
