Winter is eitherr a bane or a blessing--
having spent 20yrs n of the 51st paralelle
you might quess my thoughts on the matter.
Ah, real winter -- NOT the plus 12 celceus the has been inflicted on us here in rainy old O-Sha-Wa today.
dark iron shod winter
waltzed gracefully into town
today:
laughing teasing
looking for a romp--
for a romp and a ramble
bearing a challenge.
challenging
the joyless hibernants
here
to abandon couch and stupor
and,
risking frostbite and chilblains,
to find joy
in a snowflake,
or a snow man,
or a walk amid
the falling snow
This is a great write. You almost made winter sound appealing. But I'm still glad I live in the south, where we may have four cold days, but we know the warmth is coming.

I used to think winter was a blessing, but the older I get, the more it somehow becomes a bane.
Brrrrrr!!
