I want to get a sense if how many people on this forum really need a snowpack every winter to make them happy. For me, I absolutely hate snow, so it goes without saying that a lasting snowpack in the winter is the first thing I look at when I rate a climate. If the place gets a snowpack for more than a week at a time, then it's an automatic F for me.
My ideal winters aren't cold enough for a snowpack. I prefer mild or even warm winters. However, if a winter is going to be cold, then it might as well have a snowpack. So I'm somewhere between "somewhat important' and "not important at all".
I hate snow, would rather have cooler temps and no snow than warmer and snow. Like the harbin vs quebec city poll.
When it warms up a little, it turns to pure ice and that is not fun. We had the past 2 years Jan/Feb was like this and it was very hard to walk without falling. Shouldn't have to deal with this, and ofcouse our backward city doesn't salt/sand for ages if at all.
Not important at all. I don't mind if there is snow - it does make for really nice scenery, and is enjoyable to be around for a little while - but it's definitely not necessary for me to enjoy a climate. The ability to go outside at all times of the day or night with minimal bundling up and not having to deal with crappy sidewalks and road conditions is far more important to me than having any element of a "real" winter. And a climate without a permanent snowpack probably has a mild or warm winter, so that's a huge plus for me.
NO SNOW. I'd rather have a backpack full of primed grenades than a snowpack.
