I didn’t move to the tip of a peninsula sticking out into Lake Superior because I hate snow

Funny enough, after posting in this thread yesterday about how we don't get any snow, its snowing today.
My late brother in law was working somewhere in New York some years ago and he and some colleagues walked out of a bar (totally sober) and he slipped on the ice and kind of landed funny only to find he had a compound fracture on his right leg.
I can't imagine how painful that was but he was off work for almost three months and his leg never properly healed.

Living in Western Maryland for 63 years and working in the restaurant business for 45 of them, during a snow event was just miserable. In my previous position, I drove 60k annually all over the mid-Atlantic. Despite hundreds of snow storms, I was never in an accident or even got stuck (FWD car only)
Here's the view from our bedroom a few winters ago, I think this was around 30".
I sold my big two-stage snow blower in May to a friend and seeing it leave put a bit smile on my face.
Earlier this week, it was close to 80 degrees and sunny here.
When the grandkids came up and visited and it snowed, that was a lot of fun.
But, I definitely won't miss snow storms.

This is not strictly true. In some parts of UK, people are used to snow in winter. I used to work on the south coast, and you could often tell where your colleagues came from, by whether they managed to get in to work or not. An inch of snow, and two thirds of the workforce would either arrive very late, or not come in at all.
Here on the mid-Wales borders, we get our fair share. Do I like snow? Yes. I do not like the floods we get when all the tons of the stuff that have fallen on the hills a few miles away, start to thaw and pour down into England. And I find harvesting winter vegetables under snow far preferable to doing it in the rain, which is far more usual.
And the silence that descends with the snow is probably because parts of the country that aren't used to it, have ground to a halt
This is what I like most about snow.
The modern world is drenched in noise so when there is snow it's a sudden peaceful quiety.
Ok, did a bunch of shoveling this morning so what I said about living the snow was a fucking lie
That beer is gonna taste good tonight

Yes, and it’s snowing right now 
*loving
Though towards the end of my marriage I did feel like I was living in the snow lol
Where are you located?
I’ll send some your way!
I just drove through a couple of flurries, just south of Birmingham.
I spent some time in custody at Ft McClellan / Anniston
It can get cold and icy down your way!
It snowed today in Maryland, and for the first time in 45 years, I can just chuckle.
Yup we got about 8 inches so far here in Frederick. More coming at 7 tonight.
For those of you who love snow: Feel free to collect any that ends up anywhere near my house. It's all yours. Enjoy it in good health.
I friggin' hate snow. Always have. Always will.

If it snows here Friday, I may have to start believing in climate change...
