I had never seen snow in my life until about 10 years ago when I did a couple of trips to North America. I'd been to other places in the world but never in winter. I had seen snow capped mountains from a distance but never touched it or seen it actually falling.

To me the very thought of snow means sheer excitement. To me it is magical as well. It was, however, much wetter than I imagined too. lol

Then again it's 30C where I live so I don't have to live in it and deal with it on a practical level.
