I've seen it, played in it, landed (by plane) on it ... but actually never been there when it was actually coming down - and experienced that for the first time this year up in Orange ...
but meh - over it pretty quickly! there's the shitty things like driving in it ... shoveling it (which I've heard from friends in the US and Canada is NOT fun ... and a right royal pita
plus I'm a clutz ... so when the boys go to the snow I stay home

broken bones are NOT my thing!! lol
I've never skiied ... by playing I mean throw snowballs as a child ... we stopped on side of road and got out and mucked about for a short time ... but as a child my parents weren't into the snow at all ... and probably couldn't afford ski holidays ... but then we did take flights up onto the glaciers and Mt Cook so I was pretty lucky doing all that
