It can cause problems sometimes. But so far so good this year... the other day when i went out shopping everything was blanketed - landscape is transformed... scenery was spellbinding the entire 1/2 hour bus ride. So is the view from the windows and the balcony.
Of course, i grew up and lived for the most part in snow-less areas... so there is still an element of novelty in it for me, i think. When i came back from fetching mom's script a few nights ago, it was coming down in these big, flat, fluffy, and very light flakes ... all whirling about... it feels magical to me to be in it. i just
love walking about in that. Most people here can't wait to get out of it... it has lost its magic for many.
Another advantage i have is... i don't have to drive in it, lol, so i don't have the *groan* reaction about travel that others do.

And i certainly do not envy those who have to drive on the icy roads, let alone dig themselves, cars, house, driveway, etc out from under heaps of snow/ice/slush... maybe even on a daily basis or more!
snow-wise, i really am blessed with all the pretty aspects without having to deal with any of the troublesome aspects.
