Post #12. The season and the weather

Hello everybody,

Today I would like to talk about the simple but cute topic: my attitude to different times of year and to different types of weather. Actually, roughly every season has its own weather, but it might of course be biased during the time of the year. Also, very often the same weather conditions occur in different seasons. Sometimes, it may seem unrealistic, but I clearly remember one of the ends of the December (I think it was 2009), when it was so hot, that even mushrooms had grown in the forest and new leaves started to appear. What I am trying to say is that I actually can’t directly state that I have clearly one favorite season. It depends on the weather very much. Also, in this post I want to focus on winter, because it is “in office” now and discussing that season is much more actually than discussing others.

So, although I have chosen winter as the main thing to discuss, I want to start from the ongoing season, spring. For me, only the last part of spring is pleasant, as in the end of the May it is usually the best weather we can ever have, in my opinion. +20 degrees Celsius, light slow wind, partly sunny sky – ideal weather for physical and mental activity. Also, during such weather I mentioned that it is really sleeps better.

Of course, sometimes everybody prefers sun and hot weather to the weather described above. For those moments, I do love summer. Sometimes, it is really warm and even hot in the summer in the Russia. For instance, I remember that I and my friends were even swimming in the local lake, and the water temperature was pretty high.

The only two advantages that I see in the autumn are that there is very short period of time, when the weather is the same as in the spring. The second advantage is that I have my birthday in the September. From the other sides, I do not see any advantages in autumn: unpleasant weather, great amounts of homework, dark evenings and depressive thoughts.

So, that leads to the main time of the year I want to discuss is, of course, winter. I can’t say that it is my favorite time of the year, but winter has its unique sides, which makes it sometimes beautiful. The first thing about winter that I do like is the great amount of snow. The snow makes everything looks very different from its usual view. Especially, it is notable in the Moscow gardens. If you compare two photos of the same garden in the winter and in the summer, you might think it is another place. It is just seems impossible how such a green place could become such a white place.

Also, there is the greatest holiday in the winter – The New Year! I know, that for people from Western world it might sound odd, as they have the X-mas as the major holiday. However, in the means of winter enjoyment, I decide that we can assume those holiday quite the same ones.

So, I can talk a lot about winter, other seasons and weather but I think I had already bored you. Here is another important thought: I do not think about such things just because they are simple and easy to discuss. It is because it seems a way to relax and enjoy myself in that way.
