What I like about our area is that we have seasons.

I don’t understand how people live in Florida, for example. It’s always summer there, almost no museums, music is okay, but it pales in comparison to the northern neighbors. Okay, there’s the ocean, but you get used to it.

Also, things can change very quickly around here — just look at the second image, a weather history for January 2020, these days. Back then, the temperature changed from minus two to plus 22 degrees in just two days.

However, a lot of snow never means “a lot of mud”. It’s probably due to the dry air, good drainage, and soil characteristics — if you don’t go into the forest, you hardly see any mud at all. I’m walking around in summer sneakers right now. If they’ve cleared the asphalt path, it’s dry the next day, and you could potentially walk on it in socks (although it would be cold).

All the photos are around our house at different times
