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

I like snow at any time of year of course, but Christmas is especially nice.
Early December or November is OK but the days are getting shorter and, if
you have to work, there is not a lot of time to get out and enjoy it.


December and January definitely.

In February, thoughts turn to spring, and mild weather can often be
quite pleasant, particularly in the second half of the month. Also the
snow tends to melt faster due to the stronger sun.
On the other hand, unless we get that unusual combination of mild and
low humidity (like we have a couple of days this month), December and
January can be just a bit drab without any proper wintry weather.

However, this year it looks like late winter or spring, snow, or
nothing.... Anyone want a bet on a real dumping in April? :-)
