>>32897863Northwestern Pennsylvania, where we compete to be the snowiest region in the US. I can appreciate snowy pictures for their comfiness, but snow is really awful. Having to shovel 1-2 feet of snow because a blizzard came through the night before and the city is too "snow ready" to bother shutting down, having the snow plow block your driveway by shoving its collected dense, heavy, icy snow into your freshly shoveled driveway, icy conditions causing accidents and huge delays in traffic, getting the undercarriage of your car destroyed by all the salt used on the roads, freezing cold wind that punishes you for every bit of exposed skin, it's pretty miserable all around, even if it is pretty. For me the real comfy winter scenes come from the contrast with the cold: images of people warming up by a fireplace or bundled in blankets sipping a warm drink.
