I love snow. I don't like the extreme cold. Lately it's been below 0 F (something like -20 Cent). Right now it's 18F (-8C) with a biting wind.
It was amusing when I was a college. Was friends with a guy from (northern) Australia. He was from an area there that didn't get snow. We were attending college in Wisconsin right on the border of Upper Michigan. First snowfall we had was pretty big. Walking to breakfast in the am and he's walking through the snow, shuffling his feet, and wearing a look of wonder. I threw a snowball at him and I'll never forget his words when it hit and he went to brush off the snow. "Oh! It's wet!" He'd never thought about how snow would feel wet. It was fun seeing his amazement and we had plenty of snow fun before we finished school. He adapted quite well but before long winter made him long for home.
I grew up here in the snowy North so seeing someone else who'd never seen it before made me appreciate the beauty of it once again.
