Snow is pretty, it's fun to play in, and Christmas isn't the same without it. However a few things would have to change in order for me to not hate it:
1) If snow was warm yet didn't melt
- Instead of melting it just evaporated so that there was never any slushy wetness in the spring
2) It didn't snow on roads, side walks, the path to my hot tub or the hot tub lid.
3) No matter how much snow there was it never weighed a lot so if you did need to shovel somewhere it would not hurt your back.
Since none of these things will ever happen... I HATE snow.
The end. |

I like the snow, but not in the city. Back home, I would have so many options on things to do on a day like today:
- snowmobiling
- hiking in the forest (it's really peaceful in the winter)
- snowshoeing
- ice fishing
- skating on the pond
- cross country skiing
- tobogganing
But all I can do here in Toronto is look out my window and feel miserable. :( |

A bit of snow appreciation:
One thing I do like about snow is how strange it seems to people who have never experienced it. When I was in Punta Cana last year I was trying to explain snow to a local and we both ended up confused. Its not an easy thing to describe.
And watching people see snow for the first time always puts a smile on my face.
Snow is also at best right after a storm before anyone has had a chance to make it dirty and put footprints everywhere. As a kid I would get mad if someone walked on our front lawn (until I went out to play). Also its the best when its makes the trees look like crystal in the sun.
I love throwing snowballs. I use to always get in trouble at school.
Tobogganing and snow tubing are the best.
Snow angles are fun to make but you always end up with snow up your jacket, so I dont think its worth it.
Snow days!! In barrie we would get a ton.
Big snow flakes that fall down slowly and you can see their individual shapes.
Snow makes things romantic because its so pretty and you get cold so its an extra reason to keep each other warm.
Santa needs snow for his sleigh. |

you can def. do those things here.
hiking in the forest you can do in high park.
snowshoeing you can do anywhere along the don valley or high park.
i saw a guy cross country skiing along the don valley last year. it's actually really long.
tobagganing can easily be done in riverdale. one of the best hills in the city.

when i came to canada in grade 8 i was shocked that i could not pick up snow and throw it at someone
lol what a ridiculous rule
big ing deal if it hits someone in the face, its snow!
i guess then parents would sue the school for 700billion dollars that no one was watching their child get hit in the face with snow, overprotective parents are great. |

| Uh, the fact that it gets packed hard and it's pretty much an ice ball. Yeah, not safe. |

I am completely exhausted after shoveling the driveway. Leave it to winter to make me realize I'm morbidly out of shape. |
