I confess that I like the snow. It makes winter bearable. I find it much
more comfortable to be outside if there is snow on the ground than to
have the same cold weather without the snow. It is bright and cheery. I
don't think that I could tolerate a long, cold winter without snow. I
suppose it wouldn't take too much to convince me that a short, not so
cold winter might be better.
