Our Table Topic Speakers were:

Glenn, what sport involving snow would you be willing to take up? Being Hawaiian, snow is foreign to him. He’ll be falling down and holding onto the ring on ice skates and will become a ski pretzel skiing. Snow and Glenn don’t get along.

Midori, 1” or 6” of snow or 1” or 6” of rain? She picks 6” of snow over rain if she can stay at home. Snow is fun for her son, looks beautiful, and her dog likes playing in it.

Mara, make a case for or against golfers playing in the snow if they use black golf balls. She didn’t realize how expensive golf is. The Bothell course had goose poop all over when she was there and her husband got stung. She doesn’t get golf.  She thinks snow on the golf course would be a great idea.
