Winter weather, whether you like it or not, is upon us. It's the season of running your car to heat it up while scraping the ice off your windows.
It's worrying about slipping every time you walk outside. It's driving more carefully because the road is basically a death trap. The perils of winter may make you want to curl up in the warmth of your house and never leave, but here are six reasons you should get out and see the snow.
1. The peace
We all know the feeling of waking up, looking out the window, and seeing all that untouched snow that fell during the night.
2. The lights
Christmas lights and snow are a picture-perfect combination.
3. The animals
Puppies seeing snow for the first time is the best part of the year.
4. The excitement
Before the dread of the cold creeps in you always have that glimmer of hope that it will snow a lot and class will be canceled.
5. The fact that it's not rain
When it's cold and rainy, it's miserable. When it's cold and snowy, it's better.
6. The activities
I don't know about you, but being home and successfully ambushing my brother with a snowball is a great feeling. There's also snowboarding, skiing, outdoor ice-skating, building a snowman... the list goes on.
