I don't know, when it is consistently below freezing and snowing it sure looks nice out there, isn't that big of an issue walking to your car etc.
BUT if it were sleeting that much, everything is always brown, dead grass exposed - I bet you will wish for some of that beautiful white stuff to cover up the ugly brown. Out of sight, out of mind I always say
I think this is especially pertinent if you have dogs that live inside. It gets old real quick every time you let them out to do their thing and they need a full bath almost because they just walked around the yard...
