No. You don't. Atleast after seeing it once you'll realize. Or, more properly, shoveling it once.
I visited my sister in IL once, during early '08. The snow was piled about two feet high, and I shoveled it twice. Had to deal with a driveway at
least (keyword, based on memory) about 35x10-feet in length, which excludes the sidewalk.
It was physically exhausting to some extent, but this was before I had a job and other physical chores (we had moved out of our apartment a few months after the visit). With increased physical strength/stamina from working, and a
much shorter driveway out here, shoveling snow would be akin to mowing the lawn.

Snow is so rare down here that when it actually does happen to occur, the entire city comes outdoors.
The general estimation I've been able to make is that we get one or two snow days once every five years.
These statements are not exaggerations. Snow chunks together out here (due to the low humidity, I suppose... idk *dumb*), therefore it can be played with. And it's only once or twice every few years I get to bombard friends with snowballs.
I think what'd cheer you guys up is seeing a Californian (me) shovel snow for the first time—you can tell right off the bat I certainly don't come from a place with a similar climate.
