You can never be sure what the winter will bring, but each year you can be sure of one thing in the winter; basketball games will be played. A huge reason I love winter, is the basketball! In fact, going to college in the snow capital of New York, I didn't even have time to notice, as I was enthralled in basketball. God bless the game!
There are other winter sports I enjoy as well. Since I was 10 years old, I have had an ongoing interest in skiing. I have also recently found enjoyment in snowshoeing. There are definitely some fun things to do in the snow, as long as I can stay warm!
Now, I have just realized my reason for loving winter. I notice that in the winter, you can wear whatever you want, no matter how awful it looks, in order to stay warm and it is acceptable. I can walk up to people with a black mask covering my face and instead of them taking a step back, thinking I am going to hold them up, they hold the door that extra second for me.
The colder it gets, the more people seem to sympathize with each other. They want to help you get in out of the cold faster. I can approach someone, in single digit weather, wearing fake Ugg boots over sweatpants and I get a friendly smile. If it weren't cold out, I would get awkward stares, no doubt!
Nobody seems to think you look foolish in the winter when you wear whatever you need to in order to stay warm. Well, maybe not nobody. Can you guess who thinks I look foolish? You got it, Jeff!
