Ew, snow! I visited my kids in Salt Lake too early this year, and it snowed for over half the week I was there. Needless to say I was miserable with my arthritis acting up, and not able to get out to start on their garden hardly at all.
Good weather is a must for me as my age progresses. I can tolerate too hot much better than too cold, as at least I can dash out for short jobs in the garden, and stay in the shade. If I get overheated, I fall into the pool.
