I’ve lived within a couple hours drive (or less) from the Canadian border my whole life and the winters are really nice. If you bundle up and keep skin protected it’s much better than being hot in the summer IMO.
The last 10 years have really changed though. Much less, and later snows, and much warmer melts in between storms. It’s taking away a lot of the beauty of winter and replacing it with mud much of the time.
It makes me want to go up to Alaska or northern Canada, or Norway to recapture winters of my childhood. At least while they last.
Climate change is such a bitch, but yeah I almost always get a weird eye when I say ‘I hate summers and being sweaty, just put a jacket on lol’
Winters are gorgeous
The sounds are great too, I love crunchy snow and the silence during a heavy windless snowfall.
Plus lack of mosquitoes and ticks can’t be forgotten.
