Editor's Note:
Holiday vacations extended our survey once again, thanks for your patience! Without a doubt
Southern New Englanders love their snow... well, most of them. If there's no love, then at
least there's tolerance.

Your comments:
"It's supposed to snow in New England in
the winter. It is part of Nature's balance in a temperate climate. Last year was unusually warm,
I think, due to general global warming..." LMS, New Britain
"I love when snow falls. White out conditions
make it even worse but that's what I love about snow!!" JN, Ashford
"Two words: SNOW DAYS!" MLD,
Berlin, Kensington
"When I was among the workers of the
world, snow was beautiful... until the freezing rains came. I didn't mind driving in snow. I
felt at ease with the conditions. Of course, I waited for the peak of traffic to slow down,
then I would start out, maintaining a steady control on the gas pedal. Now, I could curl up
in the living room, a steaming cup of coffee or cocoa, and listen to a Mozart concerto on a
CD. So much nicer." MFB, Brookfield
"I also say let it snow, let it snow. I
am almost 65 and love playing in it just like when I was younger." Gary
"Let it snow! Let it snow! Love it, but
hate the ice." Liz, Dayville
"Weather is weather. Why worry about
that which you can't control?" H, Norwich
"Snow is just frozen rain. We need H2O
for survival and we best accept it with a smile. Anyone who can not accept it as part of our
lives should rethink their purpose on this world, or move to an equitorial continent."
PM, West Hartland
"I love the first snow fall when the snow
is jet white and enhances all of nature's beauty that already exists but we tend to overlook.
However, when the snow gets muddy and dirty looking, I can do without it. Basically, I like
snow for the scenary it creates."
E, West Haven
"Snow is great through the holidays but,
once the middle of Feburary is over it's time to start warming up and drying up."
B, Torrington
