It's a love hate relationship for me.
loved it when i was a kid.
hated it when i was old enough to shovel.
Loved it again when my daughter was young, and now that my son is 5.
Hated it this morning, when i had to clear the driveway and walkway.
Gonna love it in a little bit when i take g2h jr outside to build a snow man. He wants me to teach him how to make a snow ball
love that little guy.

It could be a lot worse. I just got off the phone with my SIL in Mason NH. They are on day 10 without power. No well water, fireplace heat.
To be honest, this snow storm didn't seem as bad to shovel as some in the past have been. I don't feel dead after doing the walk and driveway. Either I've become numb to it all or my general health has improved.

I think EVERYONE hates the shoveling aspect, myself included.
I can't speak for everyone, but there are some aspects that are peaceful and refreshing.
1.) Sound is muffled by snow, so going for a walk in the snow (properly dressed of course) and the only things you hear are your footsteps, your own breathing and any wildlife in the area.
2.) For thise with kids, just simple playing in the snow. Build a snowman, or snow fort, sled down a hill and tell me you didn't have even a little fun.

I understand that winter isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you can find just one thing to enjoy, it isn't a total disaster.

I used to hate winter because as a kid, there "wasn't anything to do".
Then I learned to ski. That opened up plenty of chances to go and have fun. I skied an Mount Sutton, Quebec some years ago, with temps at the base @ 17 below, and 50 below at the summit. Only the diehard skiers bothered to hit the slopes, and I was one of them. No frostbite, but man, was it fun to have most of the trails wide open.

Then I moved on to snowboarding, due to my knees. I picked that up REAL quick. The added bonus was that as a former skier, I knew what not to do on the trails (like scrape the snow off by slide-craping down the hill). I wasn't a speed demon, or a jumping finatic, but the only trails I would no attempt were moguls (knees). double and triple black diamond trails just meant less traffic. If for nothing else, my skiing and boarding had taught me to trust in my abilities, both on and off the slopes. To this day I still know my abilities and my limitations (and we all gwet along fine).

Now I enjoy ice fishing. It also includes a love/hate relationship with snow. I love that it can give you traction when walking, but it's tiring and will also insulate the ice, which hampens the forming of ice on lakes and ponds.

So, if you can find something about winter that you like, it may not be so bad after all.

As long as we can skip those miserable ice storms.
I don't think ANYONE like those.
