seasons? it's not just hot all the time?

i realized this morning that  i love cold weather. i love wearing coats and gloves and scarves and drinking tea without sweating. and even though chicago is so cold i love it so much. but why? in california it's warm all the time, i guess that's part of its appeal. but there are no seasons and there's nothing to look forward to. you know that in december and january you may have to wear your sweatshirt jacket but it's really just 50 degrees. but in chicago its colder than you can ever imagine and in late april you start to die a little but the hope of spring brings you through it. then in spring you look forward to summer and everyone is so happy. then it gets too hot and you long for fall then the leaves change and it gets colder. then you want snow for christmas and you get it. in california you have an 85 degree christmas and you can always wear shorts. 

i just love the seasons and am very happy that i wore a coat to my haircut appointment today and that i have to wear tights with skirts. the change of scene is so refreshing.
