I'll always prefer snow to heavy cold rain (Speaking as someone who had to shovel for years).

Bundle up, pop in some ear buds, listen to a podcast, and get some exercise in.

Busting out an umbrella (that the wind will probably break anyways) in 35º heavy rain while you're waiting outside for 30+ minutes for delayed busses is way worse than having to shovel some snow.

Looking at you 501 outbound during rush hour.

This^ I don’t mind shoveling. It’s a workout.

I doubt you have a very long driveway then! I always start off feeling that way and thinking it’s rather nice. Then the loathing kicks in when I get about halfway done.

Nope driveway is very long. I’ve found that using a rowing motion instead of lifting it has helped lots with easing back and waste pain. Altho i do wish there was a robot that also snow blows for you.

Yeah, but counter point: you don't have to shovel rain.
