Depends on...
-If you take the train to work, and it's been done snowing long enough that the tracks are clear.
-If you have a hot woodstove, a big stack of firewood, and a spouse to make you hot coffee/cocoa/cider
-If you have very little driveway to shovel, or maybe a neighbor kid who could use $30 and has his dad's snowblower waiting
-If you have your ice skates sharpened, your sled dusted off, your skis tuned, your snowboard clips tightened
-How much house you have to heat and how well-insulated it is. Smaller house = better.
-If you've got the pantry stocked up that you aren't going to have to go shopping for a good long while.
-If your dog can serve as a draft dog or newspaper-fetcher. I'm trying to train mine to fetch firewood
-If your winter clothes from last year are still fit to wear. One of my co-workers who moved up north from Texas was amazed that she had to buy basically a whole wardrobe and a half of sweaters, jackets, winter coats and boots, etc. My mom cheaps out on buying winter clothing and she is
always sick. Gotta have good boots, socks, parka, fleece jackets.
-If you have a heater for the chicken waterers, of course!
Mostly I enjoy it. I grew up in PA, back when it snowed regular every winter, and without the snow it doesn't seem like a real holiday. Now when I visit my brother for Xmas, it's rarely snowy at all, just kind of gray and soggy, depressing. What verthandi said about less chores is true, once you've got the lawnmower stored, the garden mulched, you're done with outdoor chores for the year. I'm not going to have to pull ticks off the dog, spray the trees and shrubs, set bug traps in the garden, etc. till, oh, late March.
