Friday Five: Winter

[cyberneticdryad]

From thefridayfive

1. Do you know of any other words for snow? What's your favourite and why?
   I know spanish (nieve), italian (neve), japanese (yuki), and slovenian (sneg). I think of them, yuki is my favourite!


2. What's your ideal temperature range for winter?
   
   If I'm indoors, let the elements do as they will! Outdoors though, 40s to 70s are ideal (which is maybe biased by western Washington's nd Phoenix's respective climates).


3. Favourite winter activity? What about it makes it your favourite?
   
   I don't know that I have any winter specific activities that I love! Maybe I should change that for next year...


4. What are three things you can't do without when winter arrives?
   
   Cozy blankets, stompy boots (for keeping dry and upright on ice!), and leggings to layer under 90% of my outfits for the season.


5. Do you have favourite winter holiday activities?
   
   I enjoy baking cookies to share with folks for Christmas! =)

Yay! <3 If you want, I can add two words to yours: snö (Swedish) and Schnee (German). :D And omg, 40-70°F seems so... warm... to me, hahaha. :D That's the temperature around here these days & it's spring! Seasons in different parts of the world are so cool.

Hell yes for layering leggings under alllll the outfits! I do the same in winter. :D

Yessss, more words for the collection! >=3 I've never lived anywhere with a proper cold winter! I've seen snow, and I've visited family in colder climates, but only for a few days at a time on vacations. I know the basics of what to do in consistent sub-40 F temperatures, but knowing myself, I would be miserable going about in it, especially if it's icy!
