Bonjour l'hiver

Hello Winter.
Not meaning to be rude but, I haven't missed you.
Why don't you (in the nicest way possible) go back to where you came from?

So it's winter. Fully fledged winter.
Cold, windy, rainy (the only part I don't mind), and just generally miserable.

Though, there are a couple of positives about the predicament that we find ourselves in from May through to August.
Soup. Who doesn't love a thick pumpkin soup for lunch? Not a preferable summer food so it wins out in winter.
Layers. Layers are a good thing for anyone. They look good and keep you warm. What is it about young people (ah, how old am I again?) where they feel that it's most necessary to show off skin in winter? And they don't seem to either feel it or get sick... The most skin I show during winter is my face and fingers. At most. Usually I'm trying to find a way to cover them as well.
Beanies and scarfs. Love them.
Warm drinks in warm places. Enough said.
The fact that everyone is as cold as you and wants to stay indoors, meaning that you aren't the only lamo who wants to stay at home on a Friday night.
Umbrellas & boots on rainy days. I love having to go outside on a rainy day, so long as I can keep my feet dry and I have an umbrella of ample size.

I think my list pretty much finished here.
What do you like about this few months of depressing, cold greyness?
