Top Ten Things People In Cold Climates Think During Winter

As a northerner I know all these scenarios and you might too.
The Top Ten
1 Snow can be a pain, but deep down you love it.

Oh, yes - I agree with this list. I love ice fishing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada! We are close to the North Pole but global warming works for us, haha

Sure we hate shoveling and parking bans but deep down you love skiing and snowball fights.

I have a love-hate relationship with snow.

2 40° weather is good enough to go without a jacket.

Some people even wear shorts outside in this weather.

Not in my family, it isn't.

3 It is surprising when you found out that some people have never seen snow.

I only got to see snow once on my way to Leavenworth when I was on my December 2018 vacation. I was disappointed that there was no snow by the time I actually got to Leavenworth, and to add insult to injury, it snowed the day after I went there.

New England has seen a ptotiful snowfall this year (El Niño), but even then, there's been at least two or three feet. Still, it's boggling because it doesn't feel like winter unless there's like, five feet of snow outside.

I know it surprised me.

4 In winter, Frozen is the story of your life.

Sometimes you get 3 feet of snow and wonder if Elsa actually came. Probably why Frozen was so popular.

5 Snow days are great, but you have to make them up at the end of the year.

Then in June, when it's blazing, you're still in school…and only the office and auditorium are air conditioned. Why!?

6 You wonder when spring will start
7 You always want to go on vacation where it's warm

The opposite is true for me. I wish I could take a vacation somewhere that's much colder as someone who lives in a hot climate.

I want to go on a vacation where it's cold.

8 "Snow" is a swear word to some people.

Last winter that became a joke because we got so much snow that it might have been considered a swear word.

9 Jealousy occurs when it's 30° warmer down south

This is why I love Summer more, especially in Australia.

I'm jealous that it's at least 30° colder up north while I have to deal with the warm, hellish weather here in stupid California.

10 Snow leads to traffic problems

And accidents, too
