- Hey, I ('m from Vancouver and) like snow. In fact, during the winter
- months, shoveling snow is just about the only excercise I get. :)
- I'd take snow over rain any day. Rain is wet, gloomy and miserable. :(
- Snow is bright, rolls off your jacket, and fun to stomp on. :)
- (maybe getting old but still a kid inside!). And seeing as we're talking
- Vancouver here, we have plenty of skier who love the white powder!
- Ever tried skiing after a rain drizzle.... ack!
