So it was onyl yesterday when I went outside and the extreme weather change hit >_< Day before that is was warm and sunny, but turned into the regular wind and rain this we(s)t coast is used to getting!

So I smelled the air and it has that wintery smell to it... any relate to me with that? Then I thought of all the pros and cons winter has...

pro: reminds me of my first, and ONLY b/f (I sound like Mako! >_<) in our winter relationship^^
con: soon when witner ended, so did us being together v_v

pro: snow days!! my high school like only ever had ONE and I think my college gets them too...
con: ...I have to walk in at least some of it to college... even if I transfer buses... well, me and ice just reaaaally don't get along >_<! And it makes you wet and so forth...

pro: Christmas is coming!!!
con: money is going... (on most cases)

pro: Jesus was born... well, sometime around then :/
con: ................

Yay -- winter! *puts his fan away* I like winter because it's Christmas time, when I get my vacation. ^____________________^

Ooo yes vacation time! How did I ever forget to add that to my list? :/ A break off college EARLY than other schools! Yay!

WHOO!! CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

We do are finals for 1st term the beginning of December, SWEET!! No more worrying about finals over one of the best seasons of the year for this University student!

WHOOO!!! \*O*/

I love the winter...the brisk smell of the ice cold air, the lovely feel of moisture all around you, the breathtaking sights of everything covered in White, one of my most favorite colors, and best of all the sounds of winter.

Nature is so quiet, condense, and so peaceful over fresh fallen snow and the snowflakes that fall that show it's real beauty.

The songs of Christmas that bring a tear to my eye like "The Star Carol", "The First Noel", and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" especially when all of them are played by a string orchestra.

Christmas to me brings the truth and the meaning of Christ the most along with another. Such a beautiful and wonderous time.

I love drinking a cup of my Mom's home made cider, in my Grandma's knittin wool sweater, laying down on the couch listening to old Christmas classics in a beautifying decorated house.

Winter must come...

i dont think phoenix has a winter.

~NL~

I'd just like to say...
SUMMER IS COMING!! O JOY!!!

This has been an Australian announcement.

YAY! My favorite time of year is fall and winter ^^
It was like 39 degrees this morning ^^

Cephas, you are my kind of guy. ^_^

I love winter. On my campus it's really nice. All the conifers are covered in snow like powdered sugar, the decidous trees lightly frosted with all their red berries (if they have them) showing. All the cardinals and sparrows are fearless, and the mockingbirds are downright aggrressive, so they are plainly visible in the trees. Everything is covered in snow, nice clean snow. White snow, black light poles, green conifers and red brick, I love it. And the campus is decorated with white Christmas lights and red bows everywhere. And I love sunshine on snow! I have seen falling snow with sunshine on it against a blue sky while I was under the magnolia. Very pretty. And it's quiet because people don't talk much because they are focusing on getting to class. And there is a fire place in the Christian Center that we huddle around. And hot chocolate and hot tea are so much better in the winter. This year, the ministry group is going to try to put on a Christmas play on campus. YAY!

Winter in Minnesota...buuurrr >.< Another year of 21 below temp...but on the upside, Christmas is coming soon! I love Christmas... ^-^

Guess I forgot to mention our south desert/tropical friends, who'll probably have either a palm tree of a cactus for their tree :/

Actually our winter's here have bombed lately >_< Thanks to global warming, our snow doesn't actually stick here for very long. So instead of pretty white fluff, we get dry cold weather with, lots of rain and many "trying to snow" cases, where it ends up just being slush :/

Here in SC it gets cold, but we don't get much snow.... So I'm dreaming of a brown Christmas!

Anyway, I love winter. I actually enjoy the cold. It's probably because it gets so hot around here usually, it's just nice to be able to put on a big coat without fear of overheating and passing out...

I can't wait for winter break. Mine'll be longer this year now that I'm in college, and I'll be glad to take that time off!

The weather change has hit Texas as well. As usual, it's still humid, and heaven forbid it actually will ever snow down here (last year in Houston was the exception) but it FINALLY feels nice, considering that the past few days it has been 20 degrees above normal and literally unbearably hot.

Winter; particularily December; is my absolute favorite time of the year. For one; Christmas. Two; my Birthday is in December. <-----The negative side of this is that people like to get away with getting you only one gift for both occasions. And three; we southern Texans get a break from the insane level of heat.

December, though, is usually when I get my second annual worst case of lovesickness. (The first is Valentine's day) But at least the Christmas spirit tends to cancel it out most of the time.

Ah, I love winter. But it's more like pseudo-fall here right now. And by "pseudo", I mean it's still about 79 degrees outside and the leaves are brown from the intense heat and lack of water rather than the change of seasons.

Guh. I want a real fall and winter this year, instead of it being hot until mid-December and then getting hot again after New Year's. And it had better not be 50 degrees at Christmas this year...

I don't know, I just like winter. Winter mornings are the best. Crisp, fresh-smelling air, clear skies. And there's nothing better than sitting down with a book, a blanket, and a steaming mug of tea.

Also, I deal a lot better with extreme cold than heat. 'Cuz if it's 20 degrees outside, you can layer on more clothes and bundle up. If it's 120 degrees outside, well, you'd better have central air and a lot of money to pay electric bills with.

Yup, another brutal Southern California winter. We might get into the 50s.

Actually, it snowed here last year. I remember my thermometer said 36 F and it had snowed not 15 minutes drive away. Melted within 24 hours, though.

I live in Colorado, so an upside to that is that when it snows it's really heavy and wet and packs together well. I love winter. It's my favorite time of year because I love the feeling of Winter. The air is almost like peppermint and everything is cold and snowy. Colorado doesn't have many ups but its snowfall and hocket team are a huge plus. I love the Colorado Avalanche! ^_^

YESSSSSS!! WIIINTEEERR!!! Break out the snow stuff wheee~

I'm getting a new snowboard this year ^^ Sadly there's like... NO mountains in Ohio. We have these little "mountain" hills where you can snowboard, but they suck. It takes longer to ride up the chair lift than it does to sowboard down. >:\ But you find ways to amuse yourselves. And you get REALLY used to riding in icy/gravel-like conditions XD But no matter! We can drive up to vermont and go snowboarding there. YAAAY Straton and Okemo! .__. I wanna go out west to Vale and Aspen and places though T^T

The strangest thing happens in Columbus though... its like we have this giant snow-repelling bubble around the city. Every freaking county around us will get tons of snow and we'll get like... a dusting or something. People up by Lake Erie are lucky =_= They get lots of snow from the lake effect. Then again, they're all so used to it up there that they don't have to close schools or anything. My grandma used to live in Georgia and if they ever got a dusting of snow they would close school. XD Or maybe that's a hyperbole.

So... yeah. Curse you flat, snow-deprived Columbus!!

pro: Jesus was born... well, sometime around then :/

Just thought I'd rain on your parade and mention that Christmas is on Dec. 25 b/c they wanted to have all the celebrations in one month (or something like that). Jesus was probably born sometime in the spring... HOWEVER! That's not what's important, is it? What's important is recognizing Jesus' birth.

lol.
That's too bad. Winter is so much fun too!

Whaaat? Winter? Fall has barely begun to start in my neck of the woods. I like winters for the snow days...last year was so disappointing. ;_;

Haha

Yes....WINTER! The king of all seasons. Say goodbye to summer! Goodbye to the summer heat, bugs, boring afternoons, mowing, and late days!! Bwahaha!!

I love winter. Winter is seriously awesome. Cause you have snow, cider, fires in the fireplace, Christmas, cold weather, and silence. Nothing is better then bundling up in warm clothes and go out for a walk late at night while it's snowing. Seriously, you can hear nothing and the sky (wear I live) has a darkish red glow to it...it's awesome!

*hugs winter*

my favorite holiday!

i love everything about winter except slush and putting on ice cold jeans in the morning.

Fall has just barely started around my place, and I am majorly excited. Fall is my absolute favorite season ever. The leaves, the crispness, the smells, the food, the clothes, everything.

And my college totally doesn't get snow days, so winter pretty much just means being cold and looking at brown things for three or so months.

I do love taking walks in the dusk of fall though. Or sitting on a driveway and talking. It is goodness.

And Christmas totally sucked for my family last year, so I'm a bit apprehensive.

Slush just makes everything worse.

Winter=sweaters.
Sweaters=very good.

Therefore, by substitution of equals, winter=very good.

I just want to quit wearing my summer clothes. I am SOOOOO sick of them!!! It's been a long summer, so I desperately long for a change of pace. There's something kind of monotonous about life whenever you wake up every morning and wear the same clothes all the time, and the weather is always the same (hot). . . I like the freshness of cool weather, the change of scenery ya know? And being able to wear different stuff. I don't know if anybody else cares about this (probably not, lol) but there's something I enjoy about it.

Then there's CHRISTMAS. I LOVE Christmas. My whole family gets together and it's so much fun, plus this year I get to see my cousins baby for the first time, so I'm excited! Winter rocks.

*pulls out mittens* Let the snowball throwing begin.

I'm just going to enjoy Fall while it lasts. Christmas is great, it is my favorite holiday. And if Winter ended right after Christmas, I think maybe I could even get to like it (Winter). But...it doesn't. It drags on...and on...

Winter pros: Christmas and all the things that go along with it. Basketball. My family's trip to the FL Keys to get away from Winter on New Year's. When it ends.

Winter cons: Cold. Snow. Leafless trees. Grey skies. Monochrome color scheme. Length. Driving conditions. Seasonal low-level depression. Shorter days. Longer nights. Difficulty exercising outside. Cold car in the morning. Ice. Slush. Barren ground.

Wish I could leave Winter with the Winter lovers and extend Fall and Spring for me. I try to appreciate all God's seasons for what they are, but Winter makes it tough.

Heh. Love winter huh guys? Pay me a visit here in Maine. Its already getting pretty cold at nights. Soon we will get back to the 20 below weather. Wee. At least I can sport my trench coat now without sweating. ^^

No need... that's normal Alberta weather, believe it or not. A couple of years ago it actually got down to -40 (same on both scales). Car that won't start is no good... ;__;

It's quite warm out there right now where I am.

It can hit 40 below here, just with the wind chill. The temp might be, say 25 below. But if you figure in the windchill....its well below that. A lot of peoples car starters buy the farm the first real cold night. Such as me, when I first started at my job. Went out to my car around midnight...to hear it click. Last winter was actaully pretty nice compared to others...so we will probably have a nasty one this year.
