Who here can't wait until SPRING
Definitely me. For I find I am leery of ice and only find that stuff beautiful until you SLIP and FALL on it and BRUISE YOUR KNEE at best.

2. Or to sleep with at least 2 or 3 heavy blankets at night so you won't get
too cold at night.

5. At least tomorrow/today
is the shortest day. After this, the days will start getting longer again.

I hate winter. I hate to be cold. I hate the diffuse light.

21. This fact gives me hope!
Yes, yes, yes, after tomorrow/today, we get more light from the great blessed orb. Do not be afraid, for it will eventually be possible to have natural illumination while doing tasks and errands. The downside is, we (I) may have to view the (my) physical self in the same natural illumination. Curse the fiery orb, I say.

11. More snow says I
Snow is a requirement for skiing which is one of the things that makes life worth living.

22. No me. I love winter and cold weather.
But of course, I live in Georgia where it doesn't as cold as the northern states. But we do have our days in the teens. I'd rather have those temps than in the summer in the 80s and 90s. I hate hot weather. I lived in it too long in So. Florida.
