Winter Musings

Its that time of the year here when the scorching heat of the Sun and the monotonous sultriness takes a turn, and soft frigid winds blow past the parched conurbations thereby amplifying the postcard-like scenery of the towns. Winters here always make me go out, roam the city. The other seasons leave me no option but to stay at home and mull over the humidity, heat, deluge etc etc... But Winter is so beautiful here. Everyone is in a good mood. Suddenly my appetite increases. Everything around looks and feels lively. What is winter like in your place?

Here in Northern California, Winter's not much different than Fall--though maybe a few degrees cooler.

@Dreamerby No. Once years ago, there was a freak snow here--only about half an inch maybe, but it was such an odd occurrence that they gave the kids a "snow day" off school.

Oh I love seeing snow. The last time I saw snow was back in 2012.

I'm not a fan of summer either, all the heat and the bugs. I don't like the cold either but it's better than sweating. It can get pretty cold here, like below zero celsius, but not as cold as other places. Sometimes we get snow but not as much as we used to when I was a kid, probably due to climate change. It's still fall here, lovely season along with spring except for the rain. I've been low-key sick the last few weeks with a sore throat, a cough and lately, a cold.

Winter here is cold and wet but that's cold and wet in our terms. Some in other countries would find our winters quite mild.

Up until this year, I loved summers most. In fact , more than spring . I would feel more active in summer compared to other seasons. Starting this year , the heat wave and unbearable summer made me realize that the summers are going to be worse going forward. I have drove through 42C for almost 300 kms and it was tough even when with the Ac was low. Winter seems to be fine although I feel more confined indoors during winters due to rain and strong winds. Mostly we catch common cold during winter , so I am bit cautious when going out. Glad to read abut your thoughts. Enjoy the week!
