Earlier this week the SMH reported that the first significant snowfall of the season had dusted the NSW Snowy Mountains. The same weather system also brought snow to Tasminia’s Central Highlands and strong winds to Adeliade.
This news, can only mean one thing – winter is coming! But there is no need to feel blue, there are plenty of reasons to get excited.
Comfort food
No one wants to slave over a hot oven during the warmer months, but in winter, cooking roasts and hot pots is a wonderful treat. And that’s just the cooking.
Winter is the perfect time to enjoy good old fashioned comfort food. Like slow cooked casseroles, soups served with big wedges of crusty bread and traditional Sunday roads.
Hot drinks
And of course, as the temperature plummets you can also enjoy the warming qualities of hot chocolate, mulled wine and spicy chai lattes.
Winter Fashion
Although you may be sad to say goodbye to your best strappy sun dress, you have to admit that winter fashion is something to feel good about.
Boots. Knits. Jeans. Scarfs. They are all fabulous and coming to a wardrobe near you.
How cosy your bed is
It can be really hard to get out of bed when your bed is warm and toasty. But although this might be something to feel glum about on work days it is something to celebrate come the weekend.
Even if you can’t sleep in, winter is the perfect time to crawl into bed with a good book or enjoy an early night.
Not sweating
One of the things we forget during the weary winter months is how miserable the relentless heat of summer can be. Clammy nights spent tossing and turning, Showering three times a day, planning your day around the places with the best air con.
Yes, it’s going to get cold outside, but at least we won’t be sweaty.
Cuddling up
Who doesn’t love a cuddle with their significant other? Winter is a great time to snuggle up to the one you love.
