Yes...I truly do love snow, but unlike some, there are times when I like it a whole lot better than others. 4" of snow in December to me is better than triple that in mid March. Not that I don't get excited about snow in March, but there's that realization that you better enjoy it immediately 'cause it won't be hanging around long. Snow early in the season has the advantage of shorter days and low sun angle, throw in the holidays and it's pretty special. (and the hope that there's more to come)
