I'll agree with this for the simple fact that the most despised of holidays falls in the spring time. Yes, I am talking about that joke a ritual for love called Valentine's Day.
As I always say on February 14th, it's no coincidence that Valentine's Day and venereal disease share the same initials.

For fun, contrast this song (and the almost oppressively dark album Key Lime Pie in General) with "Life Is Grand," the final song on Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart.

I'd like to visit London by snowfall, I hear it doesn't happen often. You get an inch of the white stuff you fight it with a pint of the black stuff.
Of course, them one-sheet windows don't sound so hot, no pun intended.

I hear you've got crazed lunatics running around the seedy sides of London hacking up prositutes with a knife in the fog and rain and one sheet windows. Oh, yes, and you drive on the wrong side of the road (and the car!) too.

I can't stand winter. so damn cold, windy, all the white. that's why i'm going to take over Cuba, kick out Fidel, and set myself up as the new dictator. maybe i'll make it free for people who live in cold climates to stay in my country for a few weeks during winter. just cause i'm such a nice guy. Call it wishful thinking, or megalomaniac desires. but you'll see. I WILL RULE CUBA!!!!!!

I love winter. No sweating in the hot nights, everything is white and quiet, I get to bring out my warm, blue skipper coat and heavy boots. There's no better time than winter to ramble around Stockholm.
My cat likes snow too, strangely. I have to rein him in when we go exploring. Also, I get to drink a lot of Gl�gg to keep warm. The full respect of the Gl�gg. -Is it right? -WELL IT'S NOT WRONG!!!
And then there's the food and many housemoose.

I don't know what to expect for winter this time around. Last Christmas was a heavy white one, with a lot of snow falling before December. The past 3 or so years before that didn't yield any long-lasting snow until January-ish. So, you never know what to expect around here.

1999: 150 cm of snow falls in a span of three days. Shuts down subway system. Major Traffic Jams. And our mayor has the nerve to call in THE ARMY for chrissakes.
2000: Big Budget spent on snow removal. End Result: Not Much snow. Major Snowstorms somehow manage to miss Toronto and smack Buffalo instead.
2001: Very cold in terms of Wind Chill, about -35 degrees celsius at times. But no snow. I'm standing still on my way to work waiting for the bus literally freezing to bits. We only had about (counts) two major snowfalls that year, all of them under 10 centimetres.

I don't know if you folks have some sort of equivilant of the National Guard, Tahna, but I know whenever we have a bad snowstorm down here, the National Guard supplies a Humvee and driver to each police and fire station.
You got that right. Middle of November, and we're getting high-sixty degree days with stunning regularity. I don't think I've had to use my heater once ... dammit, I want snow.

Oh, so you're NOT just working your way backwards through the archives, you're jumping around, too?
It just rained here, and got cold. Not as cold as it normally is in mid-November, but cold enough to like wearing a jacket. Darn, but this weather is disturbing.
