It’s cold here, but I don’t find it dreary. I like the range of seasons – there are interesting things to do in all of them. The only time I don’t really like walking the dog is when it’s very hot – so I just wait til 11 p.m. or midnight on those horrible summer days. In winter, there is skiing and skating and walking and kite-flying along the waterfront. So many winter festivals and events. The concerts in winter tend to be indoor vs outdoor but there aren’t fewer of them.
