I used to when I lived in Alberta, but had to stop for the same reason - they kept drying out and it was quite painful. <br /><br />Then again, Alberta and Colorado share much of the same physical features.

My first thought was that it's like the dust devils we get out here, some of which are only 2-3 feet off the ground and kids love to follow them around - little girls with skirts especially like to chase them around.

We have very few hills, but the boys did some sledding/snowboarding on one of the few, which had very little snow because it was so crowded. I like a little snow, one or two snows a year that melt quickly, but that's plenty for me. I grew up with lots of snow in Pittsburgh, and I remember it getting old really fast.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-78198371326468198562013-01-28T08:43:00.914-05:002013-01-28T08:43:00.914-05:00Ah, snow...

Of course, it's easy to love when the majority of the time it snowed - it had melted away after two days (on average). I also happen to really like snow/cold based athletic sports (even curling - got introduced to that when I visited Winnepeg one American Thanksgiving). I do remember building snow forts up at my DebHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685506948995225770noreply@blogger.com
