That's usually not true in Colorado, and it can be a nice thing. We usually get a big snowstorm, and then the sun comes out and the snow is gone within 3 days. It makes it nicer for driving, but it makes me sad. I, too, love snow on the ground. When I wa syounger I would literally spend all day outside playing in the snow. I built little igloos and would spend the whole day in there, or having snowball and icicle fights (kids, don't try that at home, even though I did), or playing football in the snow. It was fantastic. I miss that a lot.
In Idaho we would get snow that lasted all winter long, but not here. Well, in the mountains it sometimes lasts until June. And then it's gone for about 3 months!
