The things I like about long, cold winters:

1 - It's worth spending the money on good winter gear, instead of just hiding indoors until it passes
2 - Deep cold is more tolerable than wet cold. I mean, I'm happier in 20F and snow than 35F and rain. We get that wet cold in autumn and spring, but in between we have some nice long streaks of cold
3 - With a long winter, that first sunny and 60F day feels like heaven!
4 - Ego-boosting braggin' rights with everybody, except those Arrowhead 135 riders ... they are far more bad@$$!
