I actually love it here in winter. It's so nice to put on a fire and be snug as you watch the snow fall. I grew up in Kentucky, and the winters there were just drizzly and chilly and gray and none of the fun stuff about winter but all of the yucky stuff. Not its best season, for sure.

I love staying at home watching the snow fall during winter, it's beautiful, but unfortunately the cold makes my joints hurt so it's not as fun for me. Having spring and fall is fantastic though, before I moved up here I kinda assumed a lot of the "spring is amazing" sentiment was cabin fever from the months of cold, but nah, spring is pretty great in it's own right. I grew up climbing the crabapple tree in my grandparents yard on summer vacation and had no idea that it bloomed in spring.
