The perks of winter:

  • it is easier to keep warm during winter than it is to keep cool in the summer
  • get to wear more clothings which means more pockets to carry things
  • all the hell spawned insects go into hibernation
  • everything layered in a blanket of snow glistens and sparkles.
  • can build stuff with snow so easily
  • unpleasant people are deterred or avoid going out as they are bitter about the snow so less likely to encounter them in the winter.
  • the weaklings rely more on help as they are not strong enough for winter
  • can do more exercising without overheating

    You forgot one perk that I really like.

    The snow is sound dampening, everything is just much quieter in winter (as an added benefit to there just being less noise generating things going on)

      Oh i hadn’t thought about that, you’re right. Which reminds me… snow as cold as it is, ironically makes for good insulation making the temperature slightly warmer on cold days as opposed to the same cold days if the ground had no snow.

      Yeah, I take walks outside so much more in the winter, it’s Autism-friendly season. Lol. Well, at least those of us that are hypersensory, for the hyposensory folks, I suppose I could see them liking the opposite, as they tend to do.

      Although snowmobiles and gas-powered snow tools are pretty popular around here, so I gotta take my walks at night still anyway. 2 stroke engines are the bane of a quiet contemplative stroll.

        At least the snowmobile sounds are dampened by the snow a bit, unlike noisy mopeds and motorcycles in the summer!
