I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.
When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year
But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.
You call that a real winter? Come back to me when you have had at least -20 degrees, walked home when it’s snowing so much you can’t see across the street, and got only 6 hours or so of sunlight a day.
I have lived in areas where it’s -30 to -35 and 12+ inches of snow on the ground from November to may. Personally I did quite like it as well but it’s not to everyone’s taste. The first scenario I described is where I think the most people would enjoy it.

Who are you to call your december, january and february more “real” than mine?
A dry -1f is warmer than a moist 20F
I’m no weatherologist, but I don’t think that’s how that works.
That’s below freezing
