Since I am a warm weather person, I thought I would make a list just to keep myself from going insane.
5. Ice bombs. You are driving down Route 66 at 55mph. You hear the movement above your head. There it goes, that big sheet of ice on the top of your car. You look in your rear view mirror to watch the fiasco. The wind takes it up in multiple parts and you watch to see if it crashes down on to another vehicle. Mucho fun.
I was just driving home now from Wegmans and saw an ice bomb from one vehicle annihilate a silver mini van.
“Aaaahaaa bullseye”. My enjoyment is elevated as I munch on my favorite oatmeal, nut and raisin cookies from Wegman’s bakery. Did the minivan do anything to me, No, but it is like a video game, you get blasted, it was sadistic fun and you move on.
4. I can drive in it you can’t. My neighbors must be transients from no snow climates. I observe them hitting the gas, with tires spinning, they plead with there cars to move out of there parking space. I’m always one of the first out of the community. I’m not afraid. If the car slides to one side or the other, it is fun. You don’t get that challenge other times of the year.
At first icing with a new car, I find an open parking lot with no obstacles and get it up to at least 40mph, and hit the brakes turning the car hard to one side.
It is ice skating…..with no risk of thumping your melon….airbag equipment does not come standard with ice skates.
Then I do figure eights as fast as possible. I want to see how my car handles so when I am on the road I know what to expect. I also practice correcting my vehicle on a hydroplane. I loved doing that with a rear wheel drive, two-seater sport cars, my MR2s, what a blast. The one without ABS would pull multiple 360s. I was like a top, just spinning out of control. Yahoo~!!
3. No designated parking. Can’t see the spaces, park anywhere, take up 2, take up 4, hell park sideways….I do. Can’t ding my car now, can you?
2. Watching children play in the snow…so cute.
The best thing about snow….
SCHOOL CLOSED ON THE DAY I HAD TO GIVE MY STUPID COMMUNICATION’S CLASS PRESENTATION.
I’m jazzed about that.
I love the ice sliding off car roofs! Great fun. Happy birthday to you!

Perhaps someday you can write for the David Letterman Show.
Although, I guess if you do, you will have to think of 10 reasons why you like snow. 
I love the way you can multi-task as you drive, and I share your addiction to oatmeal raisin cookies. Wish there was a Wegman’s near me.
I shall bring you some then. Does any one else want oatmeal cookies too?
The problem will be not eating them before I give them to you.
Jessie
You bring some from Wegman’s and I’ll bake some from my fav recipe and we will have a taste test.
Since you asked, you can put me on your list for oatmeal cookies. They are my favorite too. Muffins are also good but only the tops, you can eat the bottoms.
Great post, Jessie. I like your list of reasons for liking snow. If you had the chance to operate a tractor for the purpose of plowing snow off your driveway, you’d probably like that too. I know I do. It’s always the highlight of my day.
If you did not see me eat the bottom, then I did not eat the bottom
I never had a tractor, I had a 6.5 horsepower Toro self-propel lawnmower, it had a clutch and gears. I bought it for my vacation home. It was on 2/3 of an acre….well I hated that red Toro. I preferred my push mower, what a workout, took over 2 hours to mow my grass.
My neighbors hated me because my yard and landscaping was so beautiful. I had so many beautiful planting and trees that I planted all myself. My yard was so lush and lacked weeds. I did all myself without lawn care professionals, a man, or even living there.
Anyways, The Toro went to a good home where it is loved, right Shooter
You still love it don’t you?
For JohnC and any people who like to bake and who prefer the top of the muffin: You can get good results if the muffin batter is baked in a special muffin top pan available at most kitchen supply stores. I’ve used that approach because I think the top of the muffin has much more flavor and a better, chewier texture than the bottom. Yum!
The red Toro is tuned and waxed, with fresh oil and Stabil in the fuel tank. It is hibernating and dreaming of the first cut of the spring season.
How about everybody bake ME Oatmeal cookies and I will have a taste test.
Winner gets to see me eat ALL of the cookies….and NOPE I will not share…wellll. Only if you rub my feet will I.
I laughed, when I read this. Having been born and raised, in the mid-west, it sounded all to familier. But, these things we who live in Phoenix, are very forign. The cookies sound good.
wish my country having snow season, but that is just dreaming session.
