I used to not really like Winter, but without it, I would never want to do anything like this. I'm more accepting of the seasons, though I hate driving to and from work in piles of snow. Sometimes I don't get home and have to stay over night at work, like last month, when the roads were just awful. It rarely happens, but there was no way I was going to make it home that night.
We always have this snow melt, where we are fooled into thinking Winter is over. And it isn't if it happens in February. I'd rather have the snow to ski and March Madness. Spring will come. Just enjoy the moment you're in for what beauty it holds.
