I didn't care much for snow once I moved from Washington State as a kid and lost the awesome sledding hill we had there. Despite its name, Hillsboro, Oregon is not full of hills. It is, in fact, mostly flat. There are few places to sled.
But now I'm learning to appreciate other activities in the snow, such as snow hiking, snowshoeing, and crosscountry skiing. Corvallis has a few hills, but no really good places to sled. I've been excited all week about the snow we're getting here, because a couple of inches in the lowlands means a couple of feet in the mountains. Plus, living where I live now, I'm not completely stuck when it snows. The bus runs right in front of my house and connects me up with anywhere I need to go in town.
