I hereby proclaim myself as a heretic swede. Not only do I hate winter with a passion, I hate snow even more, and the above mentioned reason to want snow has always struck me as absolutely ridiculous.

It's bad enough to have to watch the precipitation lie around polluting the ground. But then some people have to slither around on it with pieces of wood (or plastic) tied to their feet!

End of rant (yes I have enjoyed our recent heat wave immensely).
