The inverse square rule of snow
The amount of fun generated by any snowfall decreases in accordance with the square of the number of snowfalls during the season.
To wit:
Snowfall #1 = Xfun
Snowfall #2 = 1/4Xfun
Snowfall #3 = 1/9Xfun
. . .
Snowfall #n = 1/n2Fun
So, how are things in Philadelphia these days?

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

Your function never goes negative. That seems hopeful to me.

But it does approach zero.

That's because it isn't a net enjoyability rating. It's the fun term. There's also the pain-in-the-ass term, which does not correlate with number of snowfalls. (It's a more complicated product of ice levels, power outages, etc.)
