I love winters. My favourite season by far. That's prolly because I spent my optimal snowfight years in central Europe, where a catastrophic call-for-military-help (seriously only the military had plowing equipment -.-') amount of snow is anything that completely covers the roads since the geniouses have substituted some of the normal signs on a pole with ones painted on the roads. That, and nobody knows that pouring boiling water on the windshield isn't going to defrost it, let alone have ever head of studded tires.
Hell, people here (Finland, home sweet home) think I'm crazy for not angsting about winter. That is, snow, cold, and dark. Not that we had that anymore, not in that order that is. As Teurastaja pointed out, the three or four winters here, too, have been wetter than some summers, for hell's sake.
Still, what I would love is the typical, proper winter. I love the feeling of cold air on my skin (I have a rule of thumb, higher than 10 Celcius below zero doesn't count as cold, I take the trash out in a t-shirt until it gets colder), and seeing my breath. Like a lot of people said, it's only possible to cool down by stripping for so long, but you can always 1up your clothing.
What I love doing is just being outside, if there's snow, it's just so beautiful anywhere there's a source of lights. I even like the look of a "sad" suburb "downtown" (not that of a town, but similar) with the shop lights and shiiz. I wish there were more people like me, so that we could gather round sometime and have the snowfights I never had. with these winters, though, we'd have to travel to the frikkin Himalayas to find some snow.
I almost wish I believed in a god that directly influenced everything so I could curse him to hell (assuming I believed that too) and beyond for robbing me of my winters :<. Now I'll just have to resort to cursing the capitalist shits who seem to be causing this with the co2 and co. emissions, but even that I can't be sure of, with all this conspiracy garbage going on too.
