Practically drool when I see snow! Most people hate winter. I understand driving on ice sucks, shoveling snow, scraping windshields is a pain for people & some have arthritis & pain things that can flare in the cold, grief or trauma from that time of year, seasonal effective disorder or low thyroid which makes it hard for your body to regulate cold but I really don't get the collective hatred of winter from so many and the hostility towards us who love it. I'm talking Antarctica type weather like blizzards, feet of snow and even subzero temps. Heading into menopause causes sweating which helped me enjoy it more but always have. With a perverted dad, from a cursed town with much repressed memory I recall winter Christmas eve at grandma's with presents, Christmas morning, snow days, the children catching every norovirus stomach bug at school, as many of us did frequently as young children, vomiting all over their desk, catching it then watching movies like Annie, Wizard of Oz etc repeatedly while home sick with my tupperware puke bowl crapping my pants when I puked, playing with some friends I had with pretend worlds etc. Most incredible spiritual & emotional times & good ones happened either on winter solstice or in winter, & as an INFJ introvert it means less people outside, less noise, comfortable walks with air that feels fresh, much less fresh dog turds since it's cold they don't sit and steam like in heat, being hit with particularly subzero winds knocks the breath out of me & feels like a purification as it does with the landscape being purified with new life in the season I dread & weep when it's near meaning spring. Allergies, can't open windows nowadays because of extra crap in chemtrails that makes even our cats sick, bug, spiders, centipedes, noise, people & longest time from winter again. Have to run a/c when it's in the 60's in upstairs apartment because we all get sick in spring. Summer is miserable & heat induced migraines including hot water that causes them, soupy air & heavier trails. Yes I'm a "conspiracy Theorist." I know about weather though & well I won't lie it's no theory. Love autumn too but winter is peace x10! Walking around dark after sunset with snow on the ground sparkling white, single digit temp winds hitting me in the face practically makes me cry in peace & joy. Oh did I mention I LOVE WINTER ESPECIALLY SNOW! :P
