What's best, lots of snow, a little snow, or no snow? (cost, people)

No snow.

I don't know why people want snow. It's expensive to remove, dangerous for cars and pedestrians and dirty and ugly after cars run in it. All this for what? Some white world dream?

25" is pretty low (in my opinion, being a New Englander), so I voted for 25 or more. What a joke. We easily get at least 25 or even 45 inches per year and it's no big deal. Anyone who cannot handle or complains about an occasional snowstorm is a pansy, plain and simple. It's March 14th here in CT and our snow season is over. Now we can look forward to 7 months of beautiful weather that the rest of the nation can envy, combined with beautiful coastal and mountainous scenery.

The farmer's almanac says that this summer will be extra hot and extra long. Looking forward to reading all of the complaints from people who live in places like North Carolina, Florida and Texas. It will be entertaining!!

Literally all of my friends who left CT to places like California or Florida say that they miss a good snowfall.

Skiing. Snowboarding. Cross country skiing. Sledding. Snowmobiling.

Those are just a few examples.

This. Having snow around for winter sports beats a winter of 40 degree rain.

Agreed-if it's going to be cold anyway (and below 55-50 is cold to me) there might as well be some snow, otherwise it's pointless.

I can only shake my head at people that think a January high of 46 with no snow is so much better than a January high of 40 with chances of snow.

Spend a winter on Canada east coast then come back to this thread.

in the cities??
I thought we are talking about cities to live in. I don't care how much snow the mountains have.

Shake all you want. I prefer a high of 20 with no snow to a high if 35 with 5 inches of snow.

I prefer and honestly enjoy a lot of snow. However, when the big melt finally starts to begin, the mess left behind isn't particularly desirable to me.
