9. Hey, I'm in New England and we have snow.
But I love Winter and hate Summer, so what it represents is no good to me. :)

30. How do you know?
I'm not doubting you, I believe you. It doesn't matter but I'm curious to see where all the cities all or at least a top 10. I can't find a website that keeps track of total snowfall for 2010 and ranks the cities. I find Flagstaff had 108 inches since Sept 1st, 2009 but that's all I can find from weather.gov. Did you get the info from local news?

24. Have to agree with you on that one!
I love winter, too. I get depressed when the last of the snow melts. We just got about 7 inches here in northwest NJ on Tuesday, which piled up on top of the foot or so that was on the ground, so I've still got time before it's all gone. I think they're talking more snow for early next week...we'll have to see what happens with that.

I also get down after the Super Bowl because there's nothing to watch. Hockey is OK, but I prefer to be at the rink for a game. At least now there's the Olympics, which have been a blast so far! The US is doing great...except for our poor curlers! I'm watching the women now and I think the men will be on later tonight. Hope they each win their games!

GO CURLERS!!!!

33. Yeah, but there's something about the change of seasons
We lived in AZ for 4 years when I was a kid and I couldn't stand it. It was HOT summer and rainy spring...that was it! It's boring when the climate doesn't change much throughout the year. NJ has its problems, but weatherwise we kind of luck out. Nothing too severe and we usually get to experience all four seasons. Winter & fall are my favorite. Spring's OK, but that just means summer's right behind it and that's why I don't look forward to it. Of course, getting older means the time flies by and the seasons change before I really get to appreciate them! Pretty soon, I'll be like my grandmother...wearing a sweater in August because I'm cold!!

14. hell no!
I'm not a Nat's fan, never have been, but I DO want to go to an opening day game once in my lifetime. It just happened that the Os opening day was sold out and because I went to a Nats game before, I got to participate in their pre-sale this morning.

Plus, there's a VERY good chance that either President Obama or VP Biden will throw out the first pitch!
