MARILYN HAGERTY: Optimists embrace first snow; pessimists hunker down

Dear Shirley, There was a mixture of emotions around Grand Forks when the first snow fell and stuck on the ground this week. Some people are excited, elated. Kids are amazed, amused. Some folks hunker down and slip on their gloves and headgear. Others moan and groan. It seems to me the first snowfall brings out the differences in people. Their reaction says a lot.
