Oh I know this ain't no big deal to you Northerners. (On the flip side, most of you have never dealt with a Texas summer either. 
)
I'd rather have snow than what we usually get this time of year, which is freezing rain and ice. Which is just miserable. If we're lucky it doesn't stick. If we're really unlucky it glazes. And if you think we can't drive on snow, you haven't seen the mayhem that ensues from that sort of thing.
I LIKE snow. I can drive on snow. I've got a big SUV with good traction. I like snow because it's so rare. And the last time I saw any in these amounts around here was when I was a kid of 10-11. I went out to the park nearby just to take it in. I loved that it muffled all the usual city sounds. The way it looks falling in the light of the streetlight outside just down from my house. I drove around and saw on every other house someone had made snowmen. (In one case a snow kitty.)
This has been a real treat to me, really.
