My family is from the Midwest, and I have friends in Michigan, Nebraska and on the Eastern Seaboard. So I sympathize with those that hate winter, and really do understand. But I grew up in and currently live in Northern California, where it rarely gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Sorry, everyone else in the world, but winter to me is a breeze. I love it. I get to wear my comfy leather trench coat and my favorite scarf. The rain makes everything smell nice, and the cool air helps me sleep better.
