I haven't lived in an area where it snows (more than flurries that don't stick) in a long time. I don't think I'd like to at this point in my life.. the thought of it is even scary to me. When I was little and lived in Maine I remember the snow being over my head ... but I don't remember playing out in it for long. I remember the excitement of first snow though lol.
I want Seasons for stories and the more imaginary and fanciful images of Winter. The movies I've seen and stories I grew up with. They don't have to be realistic too me as I like my sims to be active and outside much of the time. The snow depth means little to me as long as it looks good.
