As each week passes by, the temperature gets lower and lower and we get closer and closer to winter. Within a few weeks, the ground will be covered by snow, and everybody will be wondering how our bodies are able to maintain homeostasis in such a cold environment. Many people hate winter and migrate to warmer climates, while others enjoy every minute of the cold season. Although I would not want to live in a winter wonderland for the rest of my life, I am grateful for growing up in an area that has harsh winters and am looking forward to the cold days to come.
Just like every other season, I love winter because it changes how you live. The frigid temperatures and large amounts of snow force you to wear insulative apparel and cause long days of shoveling, however the snow brings fun activities, such as skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and skating and the cold makes you more appreciative of hot showers, hot chocolate, and overall coziness. On top of that, the change in season brings great change within school activities. Many drama kids move onto other plays for the winter, many kids that play sports move onto their next sport, etc. I can't wait to move from running up and down a field to running in circles around a track and from hiking up mountains to skiing down them. How do you feel about winter?
Winter is cool.
ReplyDeleteI couldnt agree more Dan! Winter is cool in so many ways and I love everything about it. Obviously I love winter because of skiing. If I didnt love skiing, I wouldn't do it every single weekend in the winter. I also love what you (kevin) called the overall coziness of winter. Warm foods like chile, soup, and chicken pot pie are great winter foods(Not like you cant eat them year round, they're just so much better when it's cold). Being warm in the winter is awesome too. I have a pair of llbean slippers that are like walking around in pillows. and taking a hot shower after a long cold day of skiing is an incredible, indescribable experience
