Just before Christmas 1987 I was in El Paso TX and we got somewhere around 20" in around 24 hours. Yeah, people don't know how to drive in that stuff in them thar parts.

Snow!

I don't like snow. It's cold and wet. But it's OK when I'm inside.
I have been kinda trapped in my hometown since the beginning of December. I could have gone a few times with my parents to buy food, but I prefer to relax at home. The ice has been really slippery (I don't know what it's called in English) and I'm on summer tyres.

I remember that. Was it really 4 or 5 years ago? That was fun, though -- got a full 2 inches! (proud voice) I built a snowman.

You got it right. Here in the USA, we say ice is slippery.
If you have big hair, and dig Bon Jovi, you'll also say "slippery when wet".

All our snow stuff was in storage... i played in my jeans and a hoodie for an hour... got cold and wet.. said "f**K this" and went and played video games.
I remember my first snowball fight! I moved from the Oakland, CA area to Utah in 1971. That fall we had a heavy snowstorm. I've yet to see a heavier September snowstorm since. My brothers and I were out in the front yard throwing snowballs, making snowmen, the whole bit. By about December, I realized that walking to school in the winter kinda sucked!
We're expecting snow for the next few days and into this weekend. I have a really nice snowblower, so I'm ready.
IMO The only thing that sucks about snow is driving in it, other than that, I really like winter.

Just got home from Lousy-ana, and yup, we got snow Christmas day....well, some flakes mixed in with mostly sleet and freezing rain....it was pretty to look at for a bit, I had to drive in it (ran out of peanut oil, had to go search for a place that was open and had it!), I stood outside and watched it fall while we were deep frying our Christmas turkey, froze my tuckus off...the driving part was no sweat, just had to not try to take corners at Mach II like I normally do! 
I still had the sleet on my car the next day, untill I got up on the highway on the way to Baton Rouge in the afternoon.
Man, that was some weird weather for this part of the world.
(Yes Gia, I do realize it's a symptom of "global warming" as well, scary)

As a kid, I grew up in El Paso, Texas... I can remember it snowing once or twice... Once was a dusting, but once was a real snow storm... weird...
We werent strangers to snow tho, because we'd go up to Ruidoso, NM every other weekend, during the winter & go skiing @ Sierra Blanca.
