I know some don't want any; but of those that do like snow, which is the
best time of winter?


If it is going to snow, then Xmas Day is preferable.

But like Xmas itself, the novelty of snow has kind of worn off over the
last few years.

But it is nice to see, and I can get to see it nearly every year by
going up onto the high moor on Dartmoor where it can be truly stunning.
Especially when it is set against the bluest of skies and dazzling
sunshine in February or early March.

Then back down to the low-lying hinterlands of Devon where I am glad
that snow is a rarity.

Bets of both worlds really.
