Is this the wrong place to say how much I love winter?? This is the time of year that I truly feel alive. Am happy that we are forecast for a fair amount of snow (for us) as well as temps in the -20 range. Still not severe enough, but it will have to do for now.
For those in SoCal and AZ, I honestly have no idea how you could handle the "winters" that you get. I spent 10 years living in the Arctic and the winters were usually my favourite time of year.
Some of us are wired differently I guess (perhaps negative earth vs positive earth).
But soon enough the snow and cold will be gone and my little cars can get roused out of their hibernation.
Cheers and enjoy.

PS And no, it is not cause I am Canadian that I luv winter - my compatriots think I am nuts.

We moved from your near current neck of the woods, Spartanburg, after my Dad died. We'd still be there otherwise.
But we don't miss the heat and humidity, cockroaches, black widows on the vegetable plants, scorpions under your parts car, no poisonous snakes (Copperheads, Rattlers) in the woods, car jacking, red necks, property crime, etc.
Up here, it's generally safer, but colder and more expensive to live. And rust under our new cars after 1 winter. That we hate. And not having enough driving days +1.
But when you're too cold, you can always put on a sweatshirt or sit by the fire. When you're too hot though, you have to go from a/c house to a/c car to a/c work.

I live in Southwestern Ontario 15 miles from the north shore of Lake Erie.
The best thing about living here, is 4 distinct seasons.
We never get any of them so harsh that it is unbearable for more than a day or two.
And (Bonus) we appreciate each as it is never too long.
BTW, in my town we have only had about 18" of snow this winter.
Each of us likes or hates things for our own reasons.
I say, if you not happy where you are, change it.

Wow....cabin fever....at least most of those whining have cars that run....Please remember those of us that are still striving to get the ride finished so we can drive to the roadway.
Once I have that feeling taken care of maybe I can transition to the crying game that I am hearing....
