The thing about snow is... it gets in the way. That's why so many of us grumble about the white stuff.
Sure a pouring rain can leave us damp and uncomfortable, but with the benefit of a poncho or umbrella we can still go about our business. Splashing through a puddle is inconvenient, but the puddle doesn't need to be moved out of the way.
Having to dig a path to our cars, having to dig our cars out, having to dig our way to the mailbox, all of this is more than inconvenient - it's an additional chore none of us need in an already too busy world.
I fail to understand why civilization ever expanded beyond a narrow equatorial belt.
