Au contraire. I once took the GF, who had had little experience with snow, to visit my sister in the high mountains and trees for a week approaching and including Christmas. Standing snow was about 4'. It snowed between 8" and 12" every single night. The trees were heavy with snow, and as beautiful as postcards. The snow was sparkly, like diamonds. There was a fireplace in the house and a wood stove in the shop. The girls cooked and baked all week while Billy and I did projects. The whole experience was magical. I have a couple of funny stories to tell which I won't recount now but here is a hint: Billy plowed the driveway and county road each day with me riding shotgun, in his chained-up 4WD truck filled with a propane tank, various things and piled high with snow. I'd guess that thing weighed 7000 lbs. Billy is blind. Can't see a thing. I was his navigator. The truck had no brakes whatsoever. The stories involve the truck sliding down off the road, a tractor and a small dozer. And beverages.
