Maniacal, even.

I loved snow when I was a kid. I really think it was first college and then being a reporter that killed any lingering love I had for it.

Walking to class in sub-zero weather with snow pelting your face is no fun. Then, having to go out in horrible snowy weather to cover fatal accidents on Christmas Eve sealed my dislike.

You have more reason to hate snow than I do. I liked snow as a kid too. I started believing it was evil as soon as I was old enough to help with the shoveling.

Shoveling is another good reason to hate snow.

Then, of course, the first time I broke my wrist I slipped on a sidewalk. That was technically ice, though, so I'm not sure I can include it in my "reasons I hate snow" list.

Sure you can. Snow falls. Snow begins to melt and get slushy. It gets cold again and slush turns to ice. Ice makes you slip. Slip breaks your wrist.

Logical?

Snow, slush, and ice has been the reason for many of the injuries I've had. Another reason to hate snow...wearing heels in the snow is impossible.

Crossing the footbridge every day to get to classes in January killed any love I had for winter...

I agree. However, my friends from Louisville think otherwise. They view heels (I'm assuming they must mean stilletos) as ice picks which help them gain traction. I see that as a recipe for a broken ankle.

As much as I love heels, they're crazy!

Fashion goes out the window when it snows. Flat rubber soled winter boots for me then. Flat boots are way more fashionable than a cast anyday.

Yeah, they have a TOTALLY different view on fashion than I do. The Louisville contingent is fashion first, comfort second.

I agree with that!!!! Fashio isnt a point to make whenyou wanna keep from freezeing to death!!!! I try to put as mnay layers on as possible, jus to keep warm!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate the snow and winter, i LOVE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sojourner]

I do have to say, though, that on a cold morning there's not many things more satisfying than putting on a pair of jeans fresh out of the dryer.

As I don't have a dryer in my home, I've never had the pleasure of this experience. Though, I've put my jeans on the radiator for a while before leaving the house and that works really well.

I imagine that would have much the same result.

I'm SO glad I have a washer and dryer ... after years without it's nice to not have to drag my clothing to the laundromat. I think of that everytime I start to be annoyed about hauling it downstairs.

I've heard it can be a good place to meet guys. That was never my experience, though. Of course, I lived in Gas City, Ind., the last time I used a laundromat, so that could have been part of my problem.

It's a nice day here in Minnesota.

I don't talk to anyone at the laundromat. I'm a loner and prefer to sit in a corner and read a book.
