I know it might be strange, but I love winter weather. The crisp cold air is refreshing to me, I don’t really know why. I love the way my nose feels when it’s cold and a little bit numb, and how it feels when you’re walking and your jeans lift just enough to let a bit of cold air bite at your ankles. The cold weather also means hockey, and specifically pond hockey. It is probably my favorite thing in the world, the feeling of freedom you get when you’re skating on an open lake, there is nothing else quite like it. Most people grimace at the thought of cold weather, but I would never. I appreciate winter just like I appreciate summer, they each have their place. Go ahead call me a weirdo, but until you can appreciate winter, you can never really appreciate summer.
