This has to be coming from someone who that doesn't live in a northern state. The last two winters I've witnessed -40°F weather and I can tell you, no amount of clothing makes that comfortable. But if you're hot you can go swimming ;)
I'm in a northern state and my favorite seasons are fall and the beginnings of winter. Not the middle of winter where your house is blocked in by snow, but the part where it's light snow on the ground.
As someone who lives in the north I can say that I agree with this post and like winter more than summer (but I play hockey so I may be a bit biased haha)
I love the winter because no matter how many layers I wear, I don't have to be "bikini ready" plus I don't have to shave unless my boyfriend asks me to
(I might be biased though because I'm a Canadian hockey goalie)
