Snow has a mixed reputation.  Some people like it, others tolerate it and still others despise it.  In a Facebook post, one person wrote this about snow:  "I like photographing snow and that's about it. I've had the last 20 winters to get the effect, I'm getting tired of it."  Another person, in counter response, stated emphatically:  "Me me!!!! I love snow."  This winter may favor the first person, but at the Field Station we are with the second one.
