You reminded me of hunting with my father when I was young. One part of me hated it, it was so cold and I would get so tired. Another revelled in the bite of the wind, the blue glow of the moon on the snow and the river, and the silence broken only by our footsteps, the bay of the hounds as they tracked their prey, and the occasional car in the distance.

I love to go for a walk down a woods road, before the drifting gets too deep, and look for tracks of wildlife in the snow.

I live in Seattle where it almost never snows (pretty much rain all the time).. and this past Saturday there was a big snow storm. We saw the snow, got all bundled up and went outside with our little dog (who wore a little red-black checkered jacket). The snow was so thick that you can barely see 10 meters ahead. While everyone on the street were trying to get home, you see the three of us outside, running towards the snow and all covered in white. :) We took a long walk, went to get crapes, came back home and cuddled with hot Chai and warm blankets. It was a blast. :) Thanks for starting this Kris! One of my favorite winter memories happened this past weekend.

I used to like winter, but now I prefer a tropical and breezy beach, and the windward side of the island. Spring skiing in Utah and California is a gas and ranks right up there on my fun meter with SCUBA diving in the Caribbean. Agent is that you?

You had me on the toboggan too. I can't wait for it to snow here to go sledding this year! @Lodewijk- isn't it amazing how those crazy things we've done create such great lasting memories? @Personal Development - thanks! @WebUrbanist - I totally agree with you. It was fun finding the pics. They are link back to the original on flickr. @Deborah - that’s so awesome. You had me on the toboggan too. I can’t wait for it to snow here to go sledding this year!

Building snowmen with my brothers and sister. Alpine skiing with my parents in Switzerland. Waking up to a world so white, and everything covered in a blanket of snow a meter deep. Digging out the car. Three days in a row! Gluhwein at an icebar outdoors. Riding a bicycle on new years eve to get to the pubs in town, with my girlfriend on the back, at -20 degrees celcius (-4 Fahrenheit). Stopping at every possibility to get warm again. I love the winter! Thanks...this was fun :) Loads of winter memories here:

In Canada winters can be long, complete with chill-to-the-bone temps and several feet of snow. Boredom sets in quickly. A ravine runs through the heart of the city where I live that has been designated as parkland. The hills in the ravine aren't much more than 50 to 100 feet down, but they're steep. As a kid, many of us would go tobogganing down the ravine for the rush the few seconds gave us to come crashing to the bottom below, then drudge through the snow, sweating as we went along in our parkas to arrive at the top to do it all over again. The longest toboggans were the envy of all. The fun was to pile as many kids as could fit to barrel our way down. Tobogganing.

But I have some cool memories of snow in the mountains on the west coast, hail in Seattle when I was a kid (didn't know what hail was at that time), and biting cold wind cutting through my jacket and clothes in San Francisco. Those are all good memories, btw. :) Well, being from Guam, out here in the tropics, my cold weather memories are pretty limited.

Cold weather also brings back memories of warming myself next to a single burner propane stove when I was a missionary in Tijuana.
