While winter is my favorite season, I like them all to some degree. For me, the change itself can be invigorating as it gives me something novel to appreciate in the present and something to look forward to for the future. I'm not a huge fan of cold rain, but I do appreciate how it accelerates this change.
Sure, there are still great mounds of snow everywhere, and the "lake" that annually forms in the south parking lot of the high school is quite impressive. Still, it seems like winter clearly got its notice with the equinox last week and is making a hasty departure. I'm certain that we will still get some snow here and there--perhaps even some accumulations--but I'm almost tempted to get out my shorts ... almost.
