Cold winter romanticised in novels, songs, films, and cards are part of
the problem.

Unrealistic...causing people to wish it to happen even more

Marketing hype for this time of year starts in August, when people are
still on their summer holidays.
Most people feel 'anti-climax' by around Jan 2nd, or for some Dec 26th

People seem to be wishing that the weather above their heads is somehow
compassionate, or listening in some way. That because some of those
people down there are wishing for cold & snowy weather... that the
weather had better respond and deliver. Or are some people silly enough
to think they can make it happen, by wishing it.
C'mon... this is a child's world we are describing here.
Some adults still want to hold onto those child-like belief systems as
they get older.
It's a simple fact: The atmosphere and what occurs in it, does not
pander to feeble human emotions. Too bad, it has to be pointed out

Christmas
It's the most over-hyped event of the year. And also used by some to
preach religious beliefs

People never learn from past mistakes. they STILL get over-excited by
long range charts if it shows a cold setup. If those long range charts
show a mild setup... then they respond with "but it's too far out to
worry about" - but they will never say that, if it indicates cold
Can they not see their own bias?

Me? Scrooge? Believe it or not, i do have an appetite for wonder.
It's called Science. And there is still much to discover.

Happy Yuletide
