Snowflakes are kisses from heaven
Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. (Willa Cather)
Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do - or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so. (Stanley Crawford)

Every mile is two in winter. (George Herbert)
Winter tames man, woman, and beast. (William Shakespeare)

Winter is not a season, it's an occupation. (Sinclair Lewis)
Grace grows best in winter. (Samuel Rutherford)
Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. (Edith Sitwel)

What a thought provoking piece about winter & all the
delights it can bring us. In the UK we don’t get much
snow in the winter season now, whether or not that is
down to global warming – I don’t know. I just wish we
could get scenes like the one’s in your pictures.
