How do you feel about winter?

Let's see, how fitting to post this now as it's starting to get colder & darker.
I hate winter. I hate everything about winter. I hate the snow. I hate the cold weather. I hate to shovel and I hate to scrape my windows. I hate to stop between A & B just to scrape my windows so I can see again. I hate to wear 3 layers of clothes just to try and stay warm. I hate that my house is cold constantly when it's -10 or below out. I hate to start my car 20 minutes early just to get in to maybe get some heat from the heater core.
I hate everything about winter in ohio. period.
:barf:

Yes..I was there for a seminar 2 years ago..It started snowing Saturday evening and didn't stop..By Sunday night they had shut down the airport and most major roads..By Monday morning around 10am 75% had melted..It wasn't that biting cold that we get here in the N.E.

I did some work on a tree farm (cherry and white oak) in the mountains of Pennsylvania one winter, show shoes required, 20 below, windy and I absolutely loved it. But I got to agree with Drac I had to direct traffic in the winter a couple of times and it just is not any fun at all.
But for the most part Bigshadow has no idea what he is missing

I found that not funny in the least bit.
Two words...ice fishing.
I love winter. I can't get enough of it. I love sitting out on the ice on Lake Superior and fishing.
My daughter and I caught a half dozen coho salmon on a balmy 0 february day. I came home filleted them up, threw them on the grill, drank some of my homemade malted apple wine with my wife, and had an absolutely wonderful time.
And then there is the cross country skiing. I can walk to a series of trails that stretches for over 100 km. I can also bring my gun and shoot on the biathalon course. So, you tell me, how often do you get a good workout and get to shoot!
And then there is the downhill skiing. The elevation drop to Lake Superior is over 1000 feet in some areas, so we get some pretty decent skiing. And the snow stays around until the end of April, so the skiing tends goes on and on and on.
I just can't say enough good stuff about winter!!!!

When I moved away from Connecticut a few years ago, and ended up in the warm confines of Alabama, I came to the conclusion that enduring two months of scorching heat was better than enduring 4+ months of freezing cold.
I enjoy taking a skiing vacation, but when it comes to living somewhere for an extended time, no thanks.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't mind winter at all.
Cold has never bothered me much. My friends call me a "human furnace", and tease me because I wear shorts
until it's in the low 40's outside. I'm happy with a long sleeve t-shirt and a fleece vest. As long as my chest and shoulders are warm, I'm fine......
When I was a child, I used to go outside and walk thru the snow to get firewood in my bare feet.
As for winter itself, I guess to me it has it's own beauty that I'll always appreciate. Things like the sparkle of sunlight reflecting off of fresh snow;
the smell and the crackle of a fire in the fireplace; going snowshoeing in a nearby forest; the quiet of a winter evening, and the way the moon lights everything up when there's snow on the ground; the birds (and other critters) that are so grateful for the food I leave for them in my back yard.
Having said all of that, when winter turns to spring, I'm happy about it and ready to move on to warmer, more colorful days, but I can't imagine living somewhere where life is the same.....everyday....all year.

I would like to someday have the opportunity to experience Christmas without snow while lounging under a palm tree sipping on a drink with a paper umbrella in it and complaining about the heat.
Afte tht experience, I will then decide whether Christmas needs snow or not.

It would also be nice to not see polar bears or igloos too, right?
