[Tam I am]

I agree about the comfort and the duration of comfort of sitting on snow. I've done that a lot as a kid.

Back when I was a kid we used to get several foot of snow (I remember tunneling under the upper crust and vanishing), and some scary blizzards once in awhile. Now days if we get two foot of snow it's a miracle, and blizzards are just a thing for drivers to gripe about.
