I feel like people who actively dislike winter struggle with being grateful for the present.
They are always looking forward to the "next thing" - spending the whole week waiting for friday, whole winter waiting for summer, whole year waiting for the next year - waiting their life away.
Life becomes so much more wonderful once we live for the here and now instead of tomorrow. It is up to ourselves if we choose to take the most of the moment we have been given or not... snow is gonna be there anyway.
