What are you, 12? Snow just means kids home fighting after spending a whole 30 minutes in the snow. DH and I fighting over who has to use up leave to stay home. Bah humbug, give us spring![/quote]

If the choices are to be crotchety old meanies or to be excited like 12 year olds about something that we can't change or avoid... Well, I guess we know which one you are. Me, I'm excited! Why not be?

Um not excited for potential power loss, losing money on food, dealing with the idiots on the road, losing work time bc I have to stay at home...you want some more reasons?[/quote]

Change your perception. You'll be much happier. [/quote]

I know someone who died in a snow/ice-related car accident.  He was young.  And now he is gone due simply to icy road conditions.

So, no, I don't excited about snow, especially in this region, where people don't drive often enough in it to know how to drive in it.  It makes for a dangerous situation.  The significant issue of power loss is also a problem in this region, and because most people don't have fireplaces, that also becomes dangerous for older people, people with children and/or small pets.  It also means severe back pain from shoveling snow.

No, I'm not going to stew about it or shake my fist at the sky.  But yes, I do get irritated when I see people cheering on a potential storm that causes problems for other people.  Just because you have a situation where you can easily stay home, don't lose power, et cetera, doesn't mean it doesn't cause severe problems for other people.
