Cold weather has something dark and romantic about it, but only when it's raining or snowing. I love misty weather too.

In all honesty? It's because I love coats. My favourites are a dark blue floor length wool swing coat (yay antique shops!) and my velvet one...and, of course, I only get to wear them when it's cold. So bring on the snow! XD

My favorite things about the cold are getting to wear my black pea-coat, black furry Russian-hat, and my long velvet and lace gloves. And it's a nice excuse to cuddle with Patrick. <3 A very nice excuse. Not to mention the numbness you get. I love sitting outside half-nude letting the cold chill me.

Not a big winter-time fan. I just never seem to get warm in the winter! I do like snuggles with the hubby to get warm, though!! The crisp air of the fall is lovely, I'll have to admit.
If snow last longer than a day, then any love I had for it is gone. Lost that love in Germany, where when it snowed it stayed and stayed 'til it was a gray slush of yuck, and plowing through it with a stroller b/c you don't have your licence yet sucked big time.

I like how cold feels; sharp and real. Heat is lazy, but cold is awake. It goes straight to your bones and reminds you that you can still feel.
I like hot chocolate on cold days, and the beautiful silence of snow. I like wearing a nice warm wool coat and my bright scarves. I like seeing my breath. I like being hugged in cold weather.
But I think I'd like being kissed better.

Everything is wonderous about cold weather. I love the way it feels, the clothes I can wear, the dark evenings, the clear skies, snow, EVERYTHING!!!

I can hold out a week, then I hate it too. Yay for global warming...

The fact you can wear jackets, at last!
Back in the day (i.e. when I was still in public school & riding the bus from here to there) though I wore black I hated to do so in summer.
After an hour or two of repeated waits at a bus stop, walking from here to there in direct sunlight, I would start to get delirious from the heat. Nowadays my heart goes out to those who brave the sun, in PVC!
Black cotton anything (what I used to wear) is one thing.
PVC in the South Texas sun??
Makes one wonder what the melting point of PVC is?....

Very cold air is soothing when you have a headache, and perks you up when you're groggy from sleep deprivation. I love the silence and beauty when everything is thickly blanketed in snow, the pristine lovliness of sunlight reflecting off bare trees encased in ice. I love trudging with friends through snow, bundled in hats and scarves and gloves and lots and lots of layers, and the sudden embrace of warmth when you finally come in from the cold. I like ice skating, Christmas decorations, the bustle of crowded shopping centers. I love thick, textured opaque tights, leg warmers, long gloves, and did I mention scarves?!! I love being nestled warm in bed while the room is chill and cold all around me. Especially when I'm not alone in the bed!  I love Obsession perfume, which always seems most appropriate on snowy days(in the summertime I like fresh scents like FETISH)...I love all the memories inspired by the change of season, of all the fun winter times I've shared with friends, that mix of aching nostalgia and excitement for times to come.

After many nights of ending up on the train station at 3am, falling asleep and losing all feeling in my toes, i have lost all love for the cold. The rain and mist are different. Being with Ferretkins through crappy weather is a perk.

I live in east Texas, so I can relate. Wearing black in the summer implies that you have a death wish. The cold suits my wardrobe far better.

Mmm late fall and early winter are almost certainly my favorite times of year.
And my favorite part is having an extra excuse to cuddle with my boyfriend.
Oh. And scarves.
And seeing your breath...One December morning, when I eight or so, I asked my mother if she could taste the ghosts as they spilled from her mouth. There's just something so intense about being able to literally see the life-giving biological function that otherwise often goes unnoticed.

My favorite thing? Everything... Just... EVERYTHING. It doesn't snow here, but I LOVE thunderstorms.....

I quite like the fact that all blood-sucking animals are DEAD!!
But skiing & throwing snow down my sisters back and running away with my tail between my legs also appeals to me quite a lot...

I love the cold because I can wear long sleeves and that there are no flies.

I love the cold, because its often misty and icy at the same time round here, and thats extremely beautiful imo.
I could sit and stare at it for hours. Plus I like being chilly infintately more than being too hot...yay for sugary tea and hot chocolate on winter days

I don't like going outside.
I don't like getting wet
I don't like that I can't wear a nice little outfit for the club, as I'll freeze my t*ts off on the way there and back, but if I wear a warm, thick outfit, I'll boil to death when I get in and start dancing.
I don't like that I have to wait even longer for a bus because there are few services and the ones that are still on are delayed by bad weather- same for trains.
But!
I love love love sitting indoors in the warm, snuggled up beside S.O. in our big jumpers and comfy jeans, enjoying a mug of soup or hot chocolate or warm blackcurrant, watching Dr Who or maybe watching a big storm or snowfall outside with the knowledge it's safe and warm in here. I like being able to sit inside and watch the rain batter the windows and the wind shake the trees like toys while I sip my alcohol-infused hot drink and smile to myself.

I do like the feeling of burying myself beneath my blankets, and wearing four pairs of stockings and multiple sweaters. The warmth is so nice.

I actually hate being cold. It tends to make my hands shake, my fingertips turn blue, and I can't ever breathe properly.
But I DO love all of the little side effects to cold weather. Holding a hot cup of coffee and feeling my hands start to warm up. Pulling my sleeves down over my hands and nestling into a warm jacket. Layering clothes. Curling up under one of the blankets my great grandmother made with a book. Knitting chunky scarves and hats. Plus, my house always smells of cloves and cinnamon.
