I am a winter sports person myself.
Played hockey all my life. Love to downhill and cross country ski. Love tearing it up on snowmobiles. Ice Fishing, not so much, but you cant like everything. And, I am a runner and actually love running outdoors in the winter, but not on days like yesterday, which is just dangerous.
I love winter, love huge snowstorms obviously, and the few days each winter when its too cold to do anything outside do suck, but, hey thats what my library of books are for and why I also try to stay in the good graces of my lady friend. :SIB
Oh yeah, and gambling on hoops and hockey on a cold winter night with a drink in hand helps too.
