Many people hate snow.  This is unfortunate because for much of the world the snow will come whether you hate it or not.  We might as well embrace it.  I love Winter, snow, and all that goes with it. 
   Major holidays are bunched close together in the late Fall and Winter.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Easter following closely in the early Spring. 
    The air is clean, crisp, and the humidity is very low.  There is very little sweating. 
    I can take drastically hot showers without worrying about heating the house up too much.
    Dog poop is frozen.  When  you have three dogs this is a big help.
    As a kid I was severely bullied from kindergarten through tenth grade, when I finally got big enough to be left alone.  These were the olden days.  There were no Bully Intervention programs.  The general consensus was that if an adult helped you with a bully problem you would grow up to be a pussy.  "Let him fight his own battles!"  It didn't matter if the bully was two years older and had many nasty friends to help him bully. You were left on your own. Did it make you tough?  I guess, after spending most of your childhood living in terror.   I was a big, skinny, goofy kid and consequently an easy target.  I hated school.  I despised it.  I walked around with a knot in my stomach constantly.  A snow day meant that you were spared getting the crap punched out of you for at least one day.  I grew to love snow.  I still get the same feeling when I see snow fall even though I'm a big old ox now and  it's been many decades since I've been physically bullied by anyone.  Strange but true.   
    There are no biting, stinging, or sucking bugs in the Winter.  No Chiggers, Ticks, Deerflies, Horseflies, Greenheads, Noseeums, our state bird in New Jersey, the Mosquito, Yellowjackets, etc.  None. 
     I honestly don't know why most people prefer Summer.  I love Winter. Bring on the snow and cold.  As long as they keep making Carhartts I don't care.

I love the winter but only when there's snow. Otherwise it's miserable. I can't sling (not comfortably at least and filming is out), wood working isn't as fun, going for walks isn't as fun and it's dark. Real dark. We had snow for a few days a few weeks ago and there was a noticeable lift in my mood. I slept better. Now it's all gone again and it's wet and horrible and DARK.

    The lack of daylight is one of the few things I can do without about Winter.  Here in New Jersey it's pitch dark by 5:00 PM and the sun doesn't rise until after 8:00 AM.  I also don't like when we get a glazing of ice.  Dangerous stuff.  Nothing can drive safely on it.  When I was stationed at miserable hell hole Ft. Campbell I watched full sized main battle tanks sliding around on a glaze of ice.  One year while I was working for Cable TV, maybe in the late 80s or early 90s, our weather was broken and we got 17 ice storms in a row.  Usually we get one or two per season.  That was a rough Winter.

    I've mentioned this many times before... when I was a kid, many eons ago, Winters were much better here in New Jersey. There was snow on the ground and ice on the lakes all season. These days it's hit ir miss.
