2011 Winter

The good news is it's March; the bad news is it's still officially Winter. And in most of the country, the season doesn't loosen its grip until April. But even if the weather doesn't warm this week or next, the countdown to Spring's longer days and warmer nights has begun. Last week I asked what you will and won't miss about Winter, and lots of you vented but a few actually gushed about the slushiest months. See what you'll miss and what you're ready to ditch below.

To truly appreciate Spring, you must suffer through Winter. And there are a lot of pluses to Winter: snow days, fireplaces, being cozy, layered clothes, and the majority of you say, Winter sex. I may live in San Francisco now, but I grew up in a mountainy part of Pennsylvania, so I know February is when Winter stops being cute.

Before we get Spring obsessed, tell me what you won't miss about Winter. And maybe something you will?

It was a close race, but the majority of you prefer cozy, Winter sex to sultry Summer. But sex isn't the only way to spend a snowed-in day: there's catching up on TV, reading, watching movies, online shopping. You could even get active and clean or do your taxes, but I wouldn't. Since so many of you have been snowed in this Winter, tell us how you like to spend that time.

Don't these tigers look just like giant cozy kitties all snuggled up together? It was a Winter-white snow day at the Bronx Zoo, and while some animals like to play in the snow, these felines are keeping it mellow. See the purrrrty pictures below!

Heavy snow tucked in New York City and all of the Northeast last night. Residents may be getting weary, since it's the second major snowstorm of the season, but we'll never tire of beautiful snow pics. Only six weeks till Spring!
