I love the snow!

Sussie Due

To a degree. I dont like it when we get almost 4 feet dumped and I have to offer the people that clear snow off properties more money than they usually charge to clear mine out first so my cousin can get in and open the store.

LESLIE Wayt

YES! love the snow but have seen it slowly diminish every year in last 10 years.

DeBacker Melis

That's why we live here!! ❄️ ⛷️❄️ 🏂❄️

Jeff Sanders

I am here to snowboard during winter.

MaryLou R Haffner

we need the snow pack in this region as it is in severe drought. Our farmers and ranchers are hurting.

Dianne Price

Not really---but---we need the snow, to help with the drought!

Justin Gottlieb

Let it snow, let it snow...

Gabe West

No,No,No

Gabe just hates the environment. The slightest bit of inconvenience sends him raging. He obviously doesn't care that we are in a drought and that our agriculture suppliers are suffering.

A light dusting of snow once in a while is about all I can take with a smile. Do NOT enjoy having to blow snow or clear sidewalks. More than 2" is too much for me.

Gabe West

No I'm in a wheelchair, snow and wheelchairs don't mix

Sunny Sunshinestein

Why did you respond in both the "yes" and "no" options?

Gabe West

So you want a drought?

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
