A cold snap in the weather seems to bring with in the usual bemoaning and complaining from everyone that accompanies the coming of winter ever year. There is something about the dropping of temperatures that brings out the worst in the opinions of those that have been conditioned that heat and sun is the better of the situations.
But the cold warms the soul does it not? Being able to lounge in front of a bright and roaring fire with a good book on a winters night. Wrapping yourself in layers of blankets while being embraced by the soft feel of clean sheets.
Even the night sky seems fuller and more alive when the temperature is in the single figures. There is something about the cold that makes the stars seem closer - as if they are huddling close to warm themselves on the molten core of the earth.
That is not to say that the summer doesn't also have its perks, but we should discredit the beauty of the other six months.
