Vo: some are happy to see the snow... sot: "it's awesome.

They were pretty excited when they woke up this morning.

It was a good day."

Sot: "i live in upstate new york.

I love snow and it just blankets everything and brings joy for kids going outside playing in the snow.

And it's been wonderful."

Vo: others not so much... sot "i like it, but it's too much at once."

Sot "i used to like it when we were skiing, the whole family was skiing and we used to look forward to it.

But now it's a little bit of a different story.

A different chapter of my life, which means it's work."

Vo: whether you like snow or not, you still have to clear out your driveway...sot: e been out here now for maybe fifteen minutes.
