    Snow to me is amazing...I don't see it alot down here (30 miles south of Atlanta), but when I do I like to sit and watch it fall. Especially at night. Its so much movement and next to no sound.

    Don't get me wrong though, I don't miss the days shoveling it at my grandfathers house up in PA on winter visits.

    Pro:
    White Christmas
    can see the stars
    everything looks clean
    Skiing
    FIres every night

    Cons:
    It's dark & cold (It's Alaska after all)

    We have had the oddest winter. Massive snow, then rain, then warm / repeat / add wind / repeat...

    wow those alaska winters must be really cold................

    Pros:
    I live in southern Arizona, where it doesn't get nearly as cold as the rest of the country.
    It doesn't last forever.

    Cons:
    Everything related to the cold. I absolutely *hate* being cold.
    It does last for a while.

    Winter is the only time of year I'm not sick. Curse you, ragweed and high ozone days, curse you both!

    I sweat less when I workout in Winter, and because it's not humid the sweat actually evaporates and does its job instead of rolling down my carcass in oily, reeking trails and pooling in my tennis shoes (only a slight exaggeration).

    Let's be honest, when I was only a little overweight, it was much easier to hide my belly during sweater weather!

    No thunderstorms during the Winter. (Well, usually. We did have one a few weeks ago that completely pissed me off.)

    Great cuddling weather when I have someone to cuddle with.


    The only downside is getting up in the morning and going out to defrost the car.

    Oh wait, one more con. Getting zapped every time I try to open a darn door.

    Winter: a time to get cozy with the ladies and grind together for warmth.

    Pros:

    —Longest nights of the year

    —Ladies love getting freaked wild in front of a fireplace

    —Beerrunner looks good in sweaters. Real good

    Cons:

    —Ice on sidewalk can make it difficult to be smooth

    —In the dry air, it is harder to keep your skin supple

    —Winter blahs and its bad for my most awesome of tans

    It hasn't been winter here yet... not sure what we're waiting on! we have march-april weather right now. It's 78 degrees F (about 25-26 degrees C according to google lol) and sunny! I hope it cools down soon though, but if it gets lower than in the 50s I'll be wanting to take that back!

    sorry to all of you who are freezing right now!
