• early sunsets, and the way the sunbeams look on the snow
• snowflake kisses
• scarves, mittens, and hats
• ice-induced adrenaline rushes
• tea, hot chocolate, latte, and morning coffee
• chili
• christmas lights
• brisk walks
• cross-country skiing - the quiet woods
• snow-shoeing and finding deer tracks in the snow
• chickadees, still strong
• the sun, distant and beautiful
• peppermint and gingerbread flavoured things
• free hot chocolate at community events
• the relief of stepping inside a building
• snow days
