I hear you! I feel the same way about snow. I have to laugh (or cringe)
when people talk about making a special trip just to see snow. I saw
enough snow in my first twenty years to last me the rest of my life. If I
never see snow again in person, I'll be perfectly happy. I live in sunny
California now, and it has snowed at my house exactly once in the 25 years
I've lived there.
