Forests are definitely pretty when covered in snow. Reminds me of the setting of my own stories...

These scenes today reminded me of Walt Disney's Peter and the Wolf rendition.

All very cool photos. They remind me of why I like winter as much as I do.

Winter is part of the cycle. I find it has no more and no less to like about it than any of the other three seasons. Having grown up here in the midwest where we have four distinct seasons, I'm quite sure I'd be unhappy anywhere that lacked those changes.

I don't hate snow. I hate having to shovel it anywhere. And being cold and wet from the shoveling said snow. It's unfair, but snow takes the blame.
But Robert Frost is for the win!

The good thing about cold and wet is when it's over and you go in where it's warm and have tea or cocoa or something and get all warm and relaxed again. ;D

Yes, Robert Frost is one of my most favorite poets. Thomas Hardy, A. E. Housman, and Emily Dickinson hold similar rank with him.

Agreed, warmup is for the win.

I think my only objection is how bad the roads can be at times. And since that's generally just an inconvenience... bring it on!

Yep. And the winter chill is why we can grow such excellent apples and spring bulbs here. ;D Apples are particular about being chilled in the winter, and most varieties produce little or nothing without it.

Snow in any setting that doesn't require me to remove it is beautiful.....Other than that its just that winter seems to last 6 months here..I would prefer 3 months.

It's really only four months here. ;p
