I mean that’s great if you spend all your free time indoors shopping, eating, playing video games, going to a stinky, crowded gym, whatever. But winter with without snow is the worst for anyone who likes fresh air and outdoor activities, and knows that snow is friggin FUN. The only reason people in places like Scandinavia are so happy throughout the winter is because… snow is friggin FUN. And when the temps are colder you usually have more blue sky days. The gray, rainy crap we are now experiencing is torturous.

And don’t forget the ecosystem that depends on a snow pack insulating the ground all winter and then SLOWLY melting away in the Spring. And then there’s the water resources, including aquifers, that depend on snow pack gradually melting, unlike rain which can just drain off into streams and rivers and head to the ocean.

And snow is friggin FUN.

EDIT: Oh yeah… thank you for your service.
