Yes, it's Saturday, and late Saturday at that. Oh, well.

1. What's your opinion on snow?

I love it. It's beautiful, it's fascinating, it's comforting, and it means a lazy day at home. I am fascinated by it. If I must go somewhere, I am not so enthusiastic and would prefer that the only snow be on people's lawns or in the forecast. I prefer it to come when I am at home and snuggled in and can enjoy it on my own time, not slide through it. This is somewhat influenced by living in a state where you can count on it melting and refreezing half the time, and where you can count on it not being cleared off of anything but major streets all the time. Since it doesn't make an appearance all that often.

2. Have you ever built a snowman?

Not that I can recall. I remember trying a couple times, but I don't recall completing it. See end of last answer and add "or in that great of quantities, usually". I don't, any longer, see the point in this. Untouched snow is preeeeeeeeetty. Snow with footprints through it is kinda pretty. Snow angels, enh, maybe. Snow all scraped up to make stuff? Bleh. Snowman might or might not be amusing, destruction to the snow-layer somewhat spoils my joy in it. :)

3. Do you do any winter time sports?

No.

4. When's the last time you had a snowball fight?

Years ago. No idea how many. See end of answer to #1 and also answer to #3.

5. What's the most snow you've ever gotten in a single storm?

Depends. Here? I don't think more than 4 inches, max. If I count the time at Cornell, in Iowa? Probably quite a bit more, but I wasn't measuring it. :)
