Every time it snowed last year, it added to the snow that came before. Which meant by the end of February we had a sheet of ice underneath the fresher snow so deep and hard that it didn't completely melt until MAY! I thought I liked snow, until last year happened. Everyone in my family fell or almost fell in it last year. It was NOT as fun as I remember it being, to say the least.
And yeah I definitely know that you know the feeling. Oregon gets hammered waaaaay more consistently than we do. *sends warm weather clouds your way, so maybe you won't get as much this season*
Of course, the last time it snowed substancially before that down here, was when I was at my 1st university in the mountains of western VA. and the power went out over the whole campus during exam week because of an ice/snowstorm. As a result, part of our exam schedule that winter got cancelled. And we spent that first power-less night playing school-wide hide and seek (~400-500 twenty-somethings of a total 750 head count - it was a small college) with flaslights and pajamas in Main Hall (aka the centrally-located and biggest building on campus in terms of length). Now, THAT was TRUE (if completely INSIDE) FUN! :D
