    If it gets cold enough it will kill fleas which makes pets safer.  I love the monsoon season in Arizona which is in late summer and early winter.  Other than that, I don't like winter and all the dreary days that go along with it.

    What I like about winter is that there are no mosquitos. What I don't like about winter is everything else.

      I don’t like when people capitalize it unnecessarily.

       There’s not much that I like about winter at all.  The cold and the snow are my worst memories of it. I was born and raised in a place where there were about eight months of cold weather every year, accompanied by lots of snowfall. I left there at age 18 and I have not lived in a place with heavy snow not nor with very cold weather since. I am now in Southern California, I have not even seen snow at all for a couple of decades, and I don’t miss it one bit. 

      I guess what I find positive about winter is its fulfillment in the circle of life, it helps keep the ecosystem in balance with the way winter snowpack in high elevations melts, its resulting waters flow downhill to fill streams and creeks and rivers to provide natural irrigation for flora, and life-giving, thirst-quenching nourishment for fauna.

    The isolation. The cold. The overwhelming feeling of a dreary future. Yea I know. I didn't take my meds this morning.

    Like - usually, Australian football. Not this year, the MIGHTY Adelaide Crows finished in the cellar :-(

    Dislike - everything else, but mostly the way it hurts. Arthur doesn't like the cold and the mucus in my sinuses thickens up, so I get headaches.

    I don’t like driving on black ice, pretty much like everything else about winter.

  • Like: Rain, which we desperately need in California.

    Dislike: Can't do outdoorsy stuff much, which I enjoy the rest of the year.
