however, there are aspects that come with the snow and freezing that i do not enjoy. mostly just two, how bitterly cold it truly can be, and the drivers. why is it that all of a sudden, when there is even a promise of snow in the air, people forget everything they ever learned about driving, and proceed to assume that the rest of us on the road have a death wish? i do not enjoy this. edmonton is famously horrendous for their winter drivers, and as the snow continues to fall, i understand how their reputation came to be. in truth, it's a disaster out there, and if i survive the winter with the jeep in tact, i will view this winter lived as a rousing success!
and now, to balance out my whining, the reasons why winter makes me smile. my mom makes home made apple cider and lets it simmer on the stove, filling our home with a delightful aroma, and my tummy with warm goodness. christmas trees and christmas lights. bundling up to go outside, i love winter clothes and mittens and ski pants and frolicking around in the snow. sledding and snowangel making. toques. rosy cheeks. and possibly most of all, skating.
enjoy the winter out there, the holidays are coming! drive safe, and pay extra attention to all the other people on the roads too!

cheers to lots of snow- slow moving traffic- and being candian!
Nothing lets you know you're alive like a prairie winter.
The only thing better than the winter weather is TALKING about the winter weather.
