I know I'm late but I'm gonna jump on the whole snow rain thing anyway.
My "Opinion" is that over all snow is much worse than rain. Here is why I think so.
Now although snow is pretty right when you wake up and look outside and its pristine, that gets "nullified" the second I have to start doing manual labor just to go to work and do more labor.
Snow more often than not comes with our friend ice. Ice is not very nice because it creates danger everywhere. For people walking, for cars driving, for flat roofed homes, for road conditions, for water pipes. Ice just stinks.
Now although the argument that rain floods cities and causes deaths is valid to a degree. Snow is no friendlier. I mean, snow is cold. That pneumonia thing you mentioned kills people all the time, mainly the old and very young. Not very nice. Also the poor and homeless die from the snow every year.
Snow also creates conditions where flooding is worse. Have you ever seen a snow storm turn to rain? The snow on the ground doesn't melt right away. All it does is block all the drains causing roads to flood and become dangerous.
I will also be cursing the rain when the summer is here. I mean we all like it on a warm sunny day (or most normal people do) but I would much rather rain than snow anytime. Snow is cool for the first five minuets. After that Its nothing but a headache. I have also been a mechanic and I have experienced snow dripping on you all day. Have fun wearing a jacket while working on a car. You can but sometimes you cant and even if you can your constantly touching cold metal that just makes you cold. Second even if your shop is heated you have to open the bay doors sometime, and when you do it cold.
So I'm sorry to say here Shag but this is one of those things you will probably change your mind on when your old enough to drive and your out of school.
