Jackie likes snow because she doesn't get enough of it to really get to know it.

Move her to Frostbite Falls and she'd probably like snow till about halfway through October.

stays until April. Holy cow! Here, typically we get about two inches maybe four times a winter (almost never until mid-to-late December), and it stays about two days.
I love snow, not so much for itself but because if there's snow then it cannot be hot out.

In some places, it falls, looks nice, and melts in a day or two.
Ours falls and for the most part stays, because it never warms
up enough to melt. So it is shoveled onto the ground:circles of
interstate ramps and piled higher and higher and higher.
Places with huge parking lots, think WalMart, pile it in a corner
and there it stays, melting a little, more piled on top, re-freeze and so the cycle continues until March/April where there
is frequently some left from the first piled thereupon. It turns
black, is slippery, ugly. Black ice causes wrecks. There is the
inevitable shovel to driveway action. Snowblowers everywhere.
Just not a pretty site. I'd suggest buying a calendar with
snow pictures. A lot prettier, and a lot safer.

I suspected this place does not really exist, it sounded to good to be true:
fiction

Luke, city snow is never staying nice for long, but still, I LOVE SNOW! I mean, just to watch it fall.

If I could I would move to Fiji or Tahiti, and never had to
see snow again except on a calendar picture, it would suit me
just fine. But if you enjoy it: great. Everyone has things
they like and dislike.

That's right. I would greatly dislike it if you would use the words 'totally toppie' in my virtual presence. (cross threaded)

Around here the loveliness of new fallen snow is quickly deformed by the passing of the sand and salt trucks to what we locals call "snirt". This is a combination of snow covered by a layer of dirt resembling a small glacial morain. It renders the curbs and corners ugly.
