*playing* in the snow is way different than *battling* the snow :)  In my  
area, we normally get a snow storm, usually about 2-10 inches, then some  
time later (usually about a week) it melts.  This winter, the temperature  
has not gone above freezing more than about 3-4 times, *plus* we are  
getting new snow about 2 times a week (this week is a break thank god!).   
My snowblower can't manage to throw snow over my snow banks anymore in one  
part of my driveway, so I have to snowblow it into another part of the  
driveway, then do it again.  I've had to take off 6 days of vacation this  
year *just* to deal with snow/ice dams.  It's been too cold to play in it  
with my 2-year-old.  I love playing in the snow and skiing and sliding,  
but I'm ready for summer...
