I've always loved winter; I grew up in a cold climate skating on ponds, sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing. The cold never bothered me, even out on the flight line at -30F in North Dakota. One of my favorite poems is "Snowbound" by Whittier My main complaint about winter now is the salt they put on the roads, so that morons who never learned to drive on snow and ice can go at full speed.
