    I don't like the extreme of winter solely because snow is a thing and having to shovel it constantly in order to go anywhere gets old fast.

    But my favourite part about Winter coming? Cold weather. It was 5-10 degrees a few days last week and I was comfortably rocking shorts and a T-shirt for the first time since Summer hit its full stride.

    I'll concede that shoveling snow is annoying. But snow itself is awesome and so is cold.

    very comfrot

    Snow is cool in and of itself, I just wish my driveway was heated so I never had to shovel it. Waste of energy? Absolutely. Incredibly convenient? You'd better believe.

    If only there were some source of energy that was constantly heating the Earth, at least during daylight hours. That would solve ALL our problems!I know the sun doesn't melt all snow jeez pls no attack

    I honestly kind of enjoy shoveling snow, sometimes. Gets the blood moving!

    The sun is too damn hot. Someone should turn the damn lights off already.

    I prefer running in (above freezing) winter days than summer days. I've never minded winter at all really.

    After how hot this summer has been I'm pretty smurfing glad the weather's taken a turn for the cooler.

    Anyway to stay warm I'll just snuggle up to Pike.

    Last week it was a beautiful sunny and cool 60 degrees. I thought, "Hey, autumn is finally here!"

    Today it's smurfing 95 degrees.

    Peppermint lattes, peppermint mochas, hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, hot apple cider, spiked eggnog, infinity scarves, tights, boots boots and more boots, knit EVERYTHING, mittens, holidays, hot stews and soups, fuzzy socks, frosted grass, christmas lights everywhere, hershey's hugs, CANDYCANE ICE CREAM OH LORD IN HEAVEN, fires, the smell of pine everywhere, watching snow fall through streetlights, the excuse to use my holiday sprinkles, consistent grey skies, watching Charlie Brown and It's a Wonderful Life, seeing animal tracks in the snow, and beautiful, wonderful coats!

    I tried mulled wine for the first time last December and it seems like a very cold season drink that I look forward to trying more often. I also feel more in the mood for milky booze drinks like white Russians and Brandy Alexanders in the wintertime.

    I absolutely agree. Winter is without doubt my favourite Season, bar none. I dress the best in Winter too, because I'm very coat and outerwear focused. I love me a nice warm coat, scarf, gloves, etc. I breath Winter.

    Not really. Not often enough to justify the purchase, I'm afraid. But it was the first and only time in my life I ever bought something useless. I figure I'm entitled to do that once
