Someone needs to invent warmer snow, they woud make a fortune. :mrgreen: Looks like I am right in with the majority, I do not mind snow so much, but I do mind the cold, at least til I am adapted to it.

But I would prefer warmer all year. Snow and cold might be good for skiing, John, but not for road bicycling! :cry: If only cross country skiing was a viable option around here.

Began the TD with Kumpu from Ippodo with the Mrs. served up in the Tempest Hagi SO.

I like snow a lot. And I really love to live in a country that has four seasons. I like warm and I like cold. Too cold is far better than too hot out there. I like a freezing cold winter day.
What I do not like is winter in the city. And I hate a grey and cloudy sky. I want winter - but with sun.

Today I had a nice Wuyi Shui Xian at work. But at home I ruined my tastebuds with far too spicy food. Drank a black tea after that but didn't bring back my taste :)

I like living where we do; we have four distinct seasons and I like them all. This winter came early and has been heavy w/snow and cold. Doesn't bother me because I don't go out that much, but can understand others not enjoying it! :D

Had a nilgiri this morning; Black Dawn.

I like all seasons, and I especially like when they change; I don't like any type of weather to last for too long.

2 teas today: 2001 Dingxing & 2007 Dayi Yunxiang

I like changing seasons, but much prefer warmer weather. Here in Texas we have two growing seasons, which is wonderful! The only good thing about cold snaps is that it gives me a chance to wear my vintage furs.

I almost choose hotter all year but ended up going with a bit of change but warmer all year. I love days in the 80's and could live with that except I would miss the fall colors quite a bit. Also, if the weather was constantly warm and nice I would probably not have appreciated the amazing weekend weather we just had here in Tennessee as much as I did, It was such a wonderful gift and it would have been a shame to have taken it for granted.

Just learned classes are canceled tomorrow, so I am ready to hunker down through the cold and snowy day.

I'd like "warm all year, with occasional snow". I do love snow, I just hate being cold, which is something of a conundrum. :lol:

Rose congou all day today; looking forward to some houjicha as soon as the water I'm heating up is ready.

Thanks for snowing on our TD Karmaplace!

Great TD finishing with a TKY from a Chinese friend.
