Always have loved snow and still love the white stuff! Living in NE Ohio, I get to experience the wonder of lake effect snow. Today, we had some snow, some honest to goodness lake effect snow showers. For a brief moment, there was a little bit of white on the ground, then it stopped snowing and quickly vanished. However, during football practice tonight it snowed for a few minutes, which is always great, and snowed a little more on the way home. I am 42, still believe that I am in my 20's, but when it snows I regress to being a full-fledged kid again!
From '91-'94 we lived in Phoenix. Yes, Phoenix does have seasons with a temperature range about as large as NE Ohio except the sinusoidal graph that would model the temps is shifted up quite a bit. After moving back to Ohio in September 1994, I was absolutely blown away that fall season at how damn beautiful this state is in the fall! In about 2-3 weeks, the trees on our street will be a wonderful golden color (maples that are huge) and in the afternoon when the sun is out, it looks like everything is glowing due to the vibrant colors.
