It's snowing here as well, and even though I snowboard, I am not happy about it at all. It could be because I have been sick for over a week now and the cold isn't helping though.

You goddamn Canadians can have it. Shit, here in MN the snow has been so little that it melts or freezes right away and snowboarding is no fun at all, so winter is pretty much worthless to me.

No option for us here in the south who like winter but almost never see snow. Winter is the season where I can spend more than 5 minutes outside without sweating.

Ironically, winter is when I do most of my outdoor exercising so I end up sweating anyway :P I'm actually going to Academy tonight to pick up a new pair of skates! We have a great park across the street with excellent paths.

Winter makes me energized!

Fuck snow and fuck cold.

It was 54 degrees this morning when I left the house to train. It'll get down to 30ish (at 5-6AM) when we actually have cold weather here and that'll be as cold as it ever needs to be.

Fuck snow and fuck cold.

I love winter. And I think I like snow but as I've never really experienced it, I can't be 100% sure. I will say this, yesterday morning was about 75° for the first time since March and I was loving it. I actually worked on the yard without breaking a sweat. Yay for winter!

that's because you can always put more clothes on, but you can only take so many off!



I was looking for an option that I would like to see snow again, but not live with it for a season. One reason I left west Kansas was to get away from "winter." Now, winter here has seen 100 degree days last January.

Winter is the greatest season of all.

I <3 the winter very much.

It's also the most comfortable season for me because I have a furnace inside of me as an extra organ. (seriously, touch me sometime, i'm always warm). So...that's a plus!

I cross-country ski. I've only done downhill and snowboarding a couple of times. I enjoy cross-country a lot more because it's far better exercize, doesn't destroy your knees, and you can go off into the woods and through amazing, quiet meadows without seeing hundreds of other people all over the place. Very peaceful and fun, IMO. I completely understand why people love the rush of flying down a hill though, it's just not for me.

We got a small flurry today, huzzah! You're exactly right Sirensa, the crisp smell of a cold fall/winter night is great. And yes, it was great in high school when I'd walk to school and it was still dark out before daylight savings kicked in.

It's nice and cold here right now. My feet are cold, but I have a dog laying on them so it's all good.

It was oppressive living in LA for so long. Fuck that place (except for In N' Out).

I just hope the rain stays at bay until next month so I canget some good camping in....love the cold, but too much rain can make for a pita camping trip.

If it is snow outside when the darkness has made it's annual arrival it's ok, but pretty often there's no snow in Stockholm, or very little, during the winter.

I used to water ski when I was younger, but when I went snow skiing a couple years ago, I hated it. For some reason my body does not respond well to the sensation of slipping down a steep and icy hill.
