I like the powdery, "dry" snow they get in Utah and Colorado. Makes for some heavenly skiing.

I'll take the rain please.
Snow means cold and ice.

Snow anyday. Snow is beautiful. Rain is nasty and muddy.

Snow for several reasons: its beautiful, makes the area beautiful, you can play in it, adds to the festive holidays, doesnt soak you to the bone, doesnt create mud (until it melts), is fun to drive in.

I love rain, its relaxing, but its annoying sometimes.

I love snow, grew up with it in upstate NY. I like rain,too, like you said, very relaxing. I even have "environmental" tapes with rain. Honestly, I don't much like sunshine, unless it's a cool/cold day in fall or winter. I despise the summer, and head indoors for 3 months.

I can stand some rain in the winter.

I cant stand snow at all...I mean I can visit it, but live in it? Hell no.

I live in a northern climate, but there are times I find 79 F chilly.

Snow can be fun, but it's always cold enough to hurt me, eventually,
whether it takes split seconds on a bad day, or a few hours on a very good day.

*If if couldn't hurt me, I might prefer it.

Snow.

You can walk and play oustide in the snow, and if you get wet, you're not as miserable as you'd be if it you were walking and playing outside in the snow.

Snow is like money in the bank for nature. If it rains, some soaks in, the rest runs off. With snow, it lays a good blanket down and then gradually thaws and soaks in feeding nature slowly. Makes for a beautiful green spring with wild flowers and plush green grass.
