Do you remember the first time you experienced snow? (climate, day, place)

Don't remember the date but I have a very fond memory of being in Downtown Vancouver in the middle of a snowstorm when I was very little. I loved it.

Yeah it was in January 1997 (or 1998) in Jordan. I remember our neighbour throwing a snowball right on my neck and I cried nonstop. I was 5 at that time. Lol.

NO.
I do remember being in it and playing it as a very young child (maybe 3 or so) but not my very first time...

I grow up with snow, and seasons - snow is not a novelty to me.

I was born where snow was a regular occurrence in winter so I don't remember.

LOL. The first time I experienced snow was in October 2009. That was strange because it wasn't even winter down here.

not for me, but for my toddler son:

the first time my son experienced snow (age 2 New Jersey) we took him outside and he did not like it at all he cried and wanted to go back in the house.

When he was 3 he experienced hail for the first time. He was all excited because he heard us talking about "hail stones" and saw them falling on the ground, and he rushed outside and then was very disappointed and nearly in tears. He had a few in his hand and they were melting and he said "they aren't stones, they are just ice and water." He was so sad. He wanted stones and rocks to be falling from the sky.

A few months after birth - I was born in September. I've always liked snow and winter since I was a child.

I've touched snow once. It was exciting until i realised it was just ice. Very disappointing.

March 1, 1966 Elmira Oregon.
I was almost four years old, we had just moved from Los Angeles. I woke up to a strange brightness in the room, coming in through the windows - nearly 8 inches of.....SNOW! I still remember the way the air smelled and the way it looked like frosting on the trees and the thought i had that in Oregon i might actually get to SEE Santa Claus and the sleigh the next time Christmas came. It melted in a few days, but while it was there - magic. I still like snow.
