I was actually surprised how all us aspies in the autism group handled all this and everyone else in town was panicking over it and didn't take the change well so we were all NT and they were the aspies.
I agree that here is some point for aspies, that makes snow positive. Its so much more quiet, because less people leave their houses without cause and there is much less traffic noise and so on, because people only drive around if they really have to. So I still dont like the cold that comes with snow and the additive work i have to do because of the snow but the silcence is wonderful.
So i have to stay up at 6:00 in the morning, just to control if there had been new snow falling down during night, to remove the snow from the sidewalk in front of my house and scatter material on icy places to prevent people from slipping or depending to temperature i even have to use salt. (Because too much salt would be bad for the surrounding plants, it is only allowed when there are night temperatures below -20° Celsius (I think this should be around 250° Kelvin.).) According to law, i am responsible for my sidewalk from 6:00 in the morning until 10:00 in the evening, and if someones hurts himself, because i did not clean my sidewalk, i am responsible.

And no, it isnt really MY sidewalk, its a public one in front if my house, still i am responsible for it. -.-
Then i have to change my car wheels for special snow wheels before winter seasons, and if there had been too much new snow over night, after cleaning my sidewalk i have to apply my snow chains at the car wheels, but if i reach the main streets where the snow cleaning is faster i have to remove the chains again and so and so on.... Still i am lucky, because i have a roof for my car, so i do not have to dig it out of the snow. ^^ And there are so much more cloths to wash. In summer you wear only jean, slip, T-Shirt and bra and i only have to wash once a week. In Winter you wear fourtimes so much clothes and because you always get from extreme cold into hot areas, they are always sweated at night and you have to wash every 2-3 days. -.- And because the cat doesnt leave the house anymore, the cat toilette gets used much more. And the floor in the entrance is always dirty because of the wet shoes and the snow people bring in on their cloths...
So the silence is nice, but the rest.... -.-
Edit: And my favorite one: Car washing in winter. -.- So i dont care what my cars looks like, but if i cannot look out of my side windows any more, because of the dirt the cars in front of you throw on your car, its time to clean it. And in spring you have to carefully wash the whole car (even the bottom below) to get rid of the salt, that had been spread on the street, so that your car wont get stain... Snow....bäh....
