Due to the moderating affects of the Gulf Stream, Western Europe enjoys fairly mild winters and, thus, relatively little snowfall. (We Northern North Americans, on the other hand, are much more inured to Mother Nature's white "joy," though you wouldn't know it to hear how hysterical local news gets when there's a chance of flurries.) Snow of any substantive accumulation is unusual for them.
But, though a hassle and a chore to anyone but the happy, don't-have-to-go-to-school-today children, snow really can be damn pretty.
