Love it or hate it?

I don’t mind it, a nice walk with the snow coming down was one of DH and mine favourite things. I don’t mind if I have to drive but knowing how many accidents there are usually I only drive if it’s necessary.

I always say I hate it, but it isn't the snow I hate it is the ice and slush it it leaves in its wake .

I love to see it when it has just fallen.. but , very pretty, now move along please.

Youngest dd lives in a studenty part of a city and after they got snow she said half the street was out having a snowball fight. Grown up kids 😁 ☃️

Love it as long as I don't have to drive in it.

I love the look of pristine, newly fallen snow. Not so keen if I need to walk on or drive in it, nor when it’s got dirty and slushy - or a new layer has fallen over previous slush that’s turned to ice.
I once went arse over breakfast time (as my father used to put it) on just such an area - luckily no harm done, except that I lost my glasses. But some kind person had handed them in to the nearby pub.

I love snow, always have.

I love snow, always have

I love it when it has first fallen and is all pristine and white. Not so keen on the ice and slush though. I actually don't mind driving in it either - it's other drivers who are the problem, who don't know how to drive in wintry conditions. I do get a bit scared of falling in icy conditions these days though - a few years ago I fell all the way down our outside stone steps, all 14 of them! I swear my life flashed before my eyes - I honestly thought that was it and my time was up. How I never broke any bones I will never know, although I was very shaken up and black and blue for weeks. Since then it's made me a bit wary,

Me too GG13 and MOnica it’s rare down here too. This mornings brief episode was welcomed.

Love the idea of snow, the reality can be a bit different if I just go out. Otherwise a walk along the path by the river when snow is lying is magical as are the reflections from our garden lighting. I’m much more relaxed about it now there are no work commitments.

Love it, don't mind driving in it.

Team Love it!

My dreary winter garden was transformed into the most wonderful winter stage set this morning. It had snowed heavily from 3 a.m. onwards.

I hate it.

My drive has a line of flags down the center and a gravel strip on either side. If it freezes the flags can be treacherous but the gravel bits are safe to walk on.

I have no transport or ability to purchase grit or shovel snow so I let it lie - and freeze if thats what happens. I know where to walk to be safe on the few occasions I venture outside in this weather. I do warn expected callers to be careful.

So if some unauthorised visitor/chugger/salesperson etc slips over too bad. Snow is an act of god.

No I don't like it, for the simple reason we are not very geared up for dealing with it in this country, it seems to take us by surprise and so many things grind to a halt, it's difficult to get around as far as driving is concerned, the gritters are sometimes slow in getting out. I particularly hate it when it turns to ice, I've been super cautious since I broke an arm and the thought of icy, slippery pavement freaks me out.

Having said that, I appreciate that it can look picture box pretty.

I'm a hater!!

I’m not fond of the stuff. I don’t like driving in it and dislike it when it turns to slush. It looks nice in pictures, but the reality is not fun - cold and slippy.

I loved it as a child because our small mill town near the Pennines would get cut off for days when the snow fell, the drifts would reach up to the window sills. It was magical.
So I still love it now but rarely see it anymore, not since the Beast from the East.
Haven’t had any during this cold snap.

I have no.idea why we're not prepared for snow in this country when in fact we get it almost every year.

Disgrace really !

I love the snow I used to ski in it pre stroke

I’ve got rock salt to put on my path from last year to save folks from slipping

MissInterpreted, re your terrible fall, I have learned that carefully and meticulously sweeping stone or concrete steps with a good broom after shoveling the snow off prevents any ice build up on the stairs and makes them significantly safer to use. It's something that really has to be kept on top of however. It doesn't take long at all for any snow that is left on such surfaces to turn into treacherous ice.
As for my own views of snow, I am overall not a fan of winter: the harsh cold, the slush and ice, the driving, the other drivers, all the necessary bundling up to go out. I rather wish I could just hibernate. As I've gotten older I find I more often than not just stay homebound as much as possible during that time of year. I'm in Canada so winters here can be quite severe.

We normally do that, Trip3, but this happened when I was still working and it was still very early in the morning and it was black ice which had formed overnight, so I couldn't even see the steps were slippery.
