Why Do People Think We Want To See Snow?

Why do people insist on showing us pictures of the snow in their yard, the snowmen they are building, their snow covered decks, etc??? We live in Chicago.  Unfortunately, we know what snow looks like. Every year when we get snow dumped on us, it looks the same. It's cold, it's wet, it's miserable! Everyone complains about the snow, yet they keep taking pictures of the snow to show everyone and say, "look at the snow!"  If I want to see the snow, I will look out my window. But I don't want to see the snow. I want to see myself on a beach in the sun. Oh and by the way, you people that are on the beach in the nice warm sun, I don't want to see your pictures either, showing me what I'm missing!
