    Joy? I’ve gone to the snow as a kid and have chosen not to go as an adult. I consider myself a bit of a masochist but not that much

      It’s truly wonderful, as long as 0C isn’t painful for you.

      I’m much better adapted to the cold, so it’s in no way painful (unless I were to pass out in it or try to build a snowman without gloves or something). For me, even German summers are so unpleasantly warm that I can’t eat enough calories without being fully nocturnal. People tend to have a temperature and humidity range that works well for them, and they only adapt to new environments slowly

      I’ve always loved the snow. I will admit that since it hurt me, I’ve preferred to enjoy it through a window or from a sheltered place rather than to be in it.

      I moved several hundred miles across multiple states in part to be where there’s sometimes snow. Shortly after I got here, I was chatting to a local and mentioned that fact; he responded something like “wow. Most people don’t move to here for the weather.”

      edit: I have a bad habit of writing run-on sentences. Tried to fix one here.
