It depends on whether it has snowed or is currently snowing or whether the snow is expected to fall in the future such as later in the day or within the next few days.
"I hope you enjoy the snow as I am," is present tense meaning something is currently there, happening at the moment and there is snow now being enjoyed.
"I hope you enjoy the snow as I do," means when it happens but not currently not at the moment. It implies that when it does snow it will be enjoyed.
Hope that helps.
A figure of speech is a departure from the normal patterns of language for the purpose of emphasizing something. The simplest figure of speech is the SIMILE. A simile emphasizes a similarity of two things by merely saying it: "You are like a dog", or "You are as a dog". The figure rests entirely on one word.
A METAPHOR emphasizes a similarity of two things by saying they are the same; "You are a dog".
Next comes a big word: HYPOCATASTASIS. This is a Greek word for name-calling. Hypocatastasis just calls the fellow "Dog!" See Luke 13:32 "that fox", and Genesis 3:1 "the serpent".
A PARABLE is an extended figure of speech; a story based on a simile, metaphor, or hypocatastasis. If the story is possible, it is a MYTH. If the story is impossible, it is a FABLE. If a fable includes an explanation of the meaning, it is an ALLEGORY. Don't confuse any of these with LEGEND, which is a supposedly true but unverified historical account (Adam and Eve, for example).
These terms are not used with any precise meaning in modern discourse. For instance, most people think 'allegory' means "a story full of religious symbolism beyond human comprehension". But when discussing figures of speech they are very precisely defined. Here is a book that lists about 900 figures found in the bible. It is almost the only work in the subject for the last two thousand years: openlibrary.org/search?q=e.+w.+bullinger+figures+of+speech
"I hope you enjoy the snow as I do." What you have here is an ellipsis. A word, phrase, or thought is used twice but one use is omitted. What you mean is "I hope you enjoy the snow as I enjoy the snow." You could reduce that to "I hope you enjoy the snow as I," but we often include "do" just out of habit.
Thanks alot for this one:)
