Easily fixed.

1. Go sledding.

2. Get in a snowball fight.

3. Make a snow boulder and try and crush someone with it.

4. If you still hate snow, vote "Bah Humbug." Otherwise, welcome to your childhood.

Snow is awesome, except when it's flying in your face when you're on your bike and you forgot to wear your contact lenses today.
It makes people with glasses basically blind.

It was snowing when I was born and it almost always snows on my birthday. I feel special! (not)

How can you "outgrow" snow? It's weather...not a...television show or something.

I still like snow. I like it because I don't like hot weather. Therein, I like cold weather. So I like snow. I can't "outgrow" that I don't like hot weather.

Your poll answers don't really make sense. I don't really care about Calvin and Hobbs. I mean, I don't hate it but I don't love it either but what does that have to do with whether or not you can like snow?

Snow I'm not too crazy about, I see enough of it in Colorado that it isn't really all that special anymore.

I actually had a copy of Yukon Ho! back in the long long ago. I've long since lost it, but I recently picked up the complete three book hardback collection to read to my kid. Thanks for the smile.

Shame, that. I can attribute a great deal of my eternal love of snow to Calvin and Hobbes. However, any guy who would buy that for their kid is a winner in my book. Don't let 'em grow up to fast.
Well now, let's be clear here. The books are for ME, but I plan to read them to my kid because everyone should get to experience them.

But yeah, my books.

And I was always more of a Spring/Summer/Fall outdoors person. I would go play in the snow, but I'd much rather play outside in Autumn, or what have you.

Let me do a little list.

-I hate snow when I don't have a car.
-I hate snow because all my friends bother me to do snowboard. I tend to be accident prone. Guess the rest.
-It's fucking cold outside.

By "outgrow" I mean lose that inner child that wakes up to a beautiful white morning and can't wait to go outside and make a snow angel. Calvin is that inner child.

I love the snow; since I live in South Carolina, it's almost like some sort of mystical blessing when it comes at most twice a year (and it practically is if it comes that often).

Of course, I feel left out whenever snow is used in Christmas imagery, as the very concept of a white Christmas is laughable here (yes, I'm aware of my Christmas avatar).

I grew up in Iowa, hating snow the entire time. Once I moved away I haven't looked back. Man I hate snow.

I love snow so much. It is a pity it snows so rarely here where I live (Wirral, UK).

Here is a pic I took of the mountains last year which you can see from certain places in Wirral.

Unfortunately it doesn't snow very much in the lowlands of Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow) and when it does it is usually a quick layer and then tons of slush. A nice thick overnight snow is the best and it's the ONLY time I love it being cold outside.

I wish we got good snow more often =(.

Love it.
Even though I live in the Alps, it started to snow less and less with each year. Well, at least down in the valleys. I miss the times when we had metres and metres of fluffy, white snow.

I love snow but I live in Britain so I have to learnt to accept the fact I wont get much of it.
you'll probably be glad to hear that according to the met, some really cold weather will be blowing in from the north starting tommorow, and if it does (80% chance apperantly) we'll be heading for the coldest winter since 1991. don't hold your breath though this is the met after all.
