Winter is the season

That changes us the most

It cranks down the temperature to a freezing cold crisp

 

It drops fluffy snowflakes that sometime cancel school

It frolics in the mountains and paints them perfectly white

It changes my wardrobe, from short to pant

It removes the ice from my coffee, adding a warm steam 

It turns the car temperature knob from blue to red

It calls for snow tires and 4 wheel drive

It attracts skis and boards awaiting for their season to start

 

It causes pale skin and cold limbs

It signifies the holiday season followed by long months of hibernation

It endures the horrific months of school

It is the darkest of the seasons

It is not meant for the weak

The strongest will survive the winter, but they are unrecognizable in the end
