For those of you fornuate enough to see this beautiful display of whiteness on a crisp winter's morning, how many of you like to drive in it?

I hate it! I had to drive to school today and Slid about 4 times; hit a curb. Sidewall damage to tire. UGH.

I love driving in the snow. Been doing it since I was 16 and haven't had an issue with it yet :)

Is this even a question?? What's the next poll, "Do you like walking on broken glass"?

Can I drive in snow? With the best of 'em. My first driving lesson was in six inches of snow, in a rear wheel drive station wagon. But do I like it? Needless to say I voted no :D

It's a bit of a trick question. It can be fun if I am the only person on the road. Once the idiots get on there too, then it turns to suck. It wouldn't be too bad except for the extremist, you have those (especially trucks and SUV's) that think they can drive full speed ahead no matter what, and then those that see a snowflake and think that 5 miles an hour is pushing it.

Dear Oonagh,

I enjoyed meeting you and your family, and seeing Philadelphia in early Autumn. From the stories my father told, and the things that I have read, and the pictures and news stories I have seen, I could not live in Philadelphia in the winter. Snow is to be visited, not lived in.

I'm really neutral about it.

Sometimes snow can be fun to drive in, play around a bit, shitties in the parking lot, etc.

Othertimes, like when there are other idiots on the road who may or may not have a clue how to drive, it's not so fun to drive in.

I love snow, and am mostly indifferent about driving in it. Driving around *other* people driving in it, however, can be bad and stressful.

I love driving in snow, but only if I'm not in a hurry and there's not too much traffic.

During snowmageddon last year, I took a 4 hour road trip during the worst of the blizzard to go skiing. It got exciting, but it was fun. It turned into 6 hours.

Ok, I am slightly confused about "Shitties". I must have missed something, but I have no idea what that means.

I bet he meant to type "donuts in the parking lot" (or "skidding"?).

The crunching sound snow makes when it's getting packed under your tires is weirdly appealing to me... call it an aural fixation :P

Snow is an evil, horrible thing. The only legitimate purpose for the solid form of dihydrogen monoxide is for lowering the temperature of libations.

Huh, funny question, yeah. I grew up driving in snow (and, we always called it "doing donuts in the parking lot," no idea where "shitties" comes from!), and it was just something you had to deal with. Now that I live in a clime where I never see snow unless I travel, I still feel like I know what I'm doing in it, but only enjoy it after I get down out of it (usually from driving up in the mountains). Then I can proudly say that I did it, and got my family safely down out of the blizzard or whatever.

The best was in the north of England, driving in a 4-inch snowstorm on New Year's Eve. In a manual. On the "wrong" side of the road. So, not only was I driving on the left, but the stick is on the wrong side, too. Oh, and I was running a fever of about 102 by the time we got where we were going. It was quite the adventure.

Come to think of it, I did kind of enjoy that at the time, so I'll answer yes.
