It is about getting old, at least to me. I used to enjoy winter and the variety of conditions. Now about this time of year I start counting the days to Spring. One problem is my favorite things to do - cycle, run (not do much now), and boating are best in warmer conditions and not snow and ice. I tell people I wish there was something I enjoyed about winter like skiing, but I don't. I shiver and hate skiing, get warmed up on a downhill run, and then shiver while I stand in the lift lines.
