I still throw back my head and stick out my tongue when they are coming down.

I think that as a child we love them because we can play in them, but, unfortunately, in these modern, but not modern enough, days, we, as adults, have to drive in the mess. This is probably why my 16 years old son love snow and his now officially a ski instructor, while his parents wish they could be back in Europe with public transport!

He can take his pick from the 2 feet + still sitting in my back yard!!!  Imagine – those “temporary works of art” are giving Vancouver Island a bad name.  And we can’t have that. I’ve been reading the works of Masaru Emoto ~ “The Hidden Messages in Water”, for one ~ and many of his outstanding photography of the molecules of water resemble snowflakes.  I’ll take those flakes instead.

He'd tell you to call Kabu to find the Butt Bird and send him your way

An individual snowflake is an interesting, beautiful thing.

A drift of them falling from low slung clouds is fascinating to watch. A half-melted collection of gazillions of 'em in ruts along the driveway, salted slushy barricades of them along the street, these are inconvenient messy bits that add nothing to our quality of life.

Great post!  Based on the hours I've spent staring at the flakes stuck to the panes of my windows, studying all the incredible variances.....they never cease to fascinate me.......I think he would tell you that your white low grade stuff still has its own variance, just not the circumfrance that allows for the ultimate variance.

Maybe the covering stuff is just to sften falls, brighten up the darkness of the season, add some moisture to the ground, let us practice or driving and patience skills, and provide seasonal work for those who need it..........while the fance stuff is for our aesthetic pleasure. I've been offline over two weeks and am so glad to be back reading.
