I honestly don't mind the snow. But since winters have been horrible for snow, and have become more a burden than anything else, I haven't invested a dime into "snow toys" in over 20 years. Well, except for the 4x4 and parking lot donuts...LOL. Came very close to buying a snowmobile last year but that's it. This winter may be different. My son is now 3. I've been off cigarettes for a while and have new energy. We may actually have more fun this year now that I can play with my son for more than 15 minutes at a time before becoming winded. He's had his face glued to the window every passing flurry, just smiling and giggling away. It's getting me a bit excited as well watching his excitement.
