Yeah, many feet of snow fell in the Spokane, WA area, the next winter, when we'd moved to CO, and we had barely anything. Maybe a trace of the white stuff.Oh neat.I've been to certain parts of Washington state too and I do agree. It is gorgeous especially the coast.
We were looking forward to some good blizzards, but the three blizzards that came through the Springs in 2006/2007, we were not there yet. We moved here in June 2007. So far, as I've said, we're lucky to get 4 inches of snow at one snowfall in our area. We get even less than the Springs, which usually gets a couple inches more than us, but still, really, it's pitiful. People think Colorado is snow country. Yeah, if you live up in the mountains maybe, but even there the past few years, hasn't been very much. We went up to a park in the mountains close to our home to find some good sledding hills. This was a couple years ago. We got up there, and the lady at the park entrance said there wasn't enough snow on the ground for skiing or sledding. We came back a week or so later when it snowed again, and there were a few inches more, but still not much, but we got our exhausting sledding in. I hadn't sledded since I was 18, and I tell you, it is darn tiring climbing up the hill every time, for a 30-50 second thrill ride down a hill!
I like 4 seasons. I like to see the changes in nature. The changes in the colors on the trees, the greens of the grass and such, the flowers bloom. I like seeing the glistening snow in winter, and the hot, sunny days in the summer. What would be perfect to me is 3 months of each season. By the time March comes around, I'm sick of winter. I'm ready for summer by the end of April. Ready for fall by the end of August. Ready for winter by the end of November.
Considering the temperatures here, I'd be happy with 5 months of summer, 5 months of fall, 1 month of spring and 1 month of winter. I need that one month of winter during Christmas to have a nice snowy white Christmas.

Winters were good in Spokane, Wa area. We always had snow the 4 years we lived there.
It really is a lot of fun. Winter has it's good points.I like 4 seasons. I like to see the changes in nature.

It's annoying how some take advantage of the down trodden. 
Ah okay. I thought you got more snow. Yes, you'd think there would be significantly more in the mountain area. The times I've been to Washington state were spring and fall so I'm not familiar with their winters at all. Neat...I like hearing about other places etc.
Yes, sledding is fun but a whole lot of exercise. It's been years since I've sledded. Still, that zing down the hill really is a blast...Don't you think? A few years back I went skidooing and we were pulled around on a big tire tube on the frozen lake. Now that's a riot.
The last time I was on a frozen lake, was when I ice skated with double blades on my skates when I was three years old.
lol I know what you mean in regards to getting sick of winter. I don't like being cold. I too love the colours of autumn. The irony is that orange is my least favourite colour but I do love taking autumn pictures...beautiful.
Sounds cool, but I'd just worry a bit about the lake's ice cracking.
