There's something to be said for rain. You don't have to shovel it.
It is normal weather for January and a bit windy. Just an inch or so
of the white stuff. Just enough to make it nice, and not enough for
the few crazies in the neigbourhood to fire up their V-8 powered snow
blowers.
Great dog-walking weather...... still need a parka though.

Ah yes, rain. *It mixes with the melting snow on the ground and freezes
into an unmovable mass, or freezes on the road creating perilous road
conditions.

I'd rather have the snow.

Oh yes indeed. Freezing rain, or frozen rain...and worse, frozen mix
of snow and rain all suck.
I would much rather have snow too. I can drive in snow, ice is another
matter entirely.
