Saviour66: Well Pedro,since I´m from the Great North,-I love the winter...
Íce cold winds whipping my face,-20 degrees below zero,-getting dressed up,and go walking on the ice of the frozen lakes...lovely!!!Yeah,it surely changes my mood....to the better....
Greetings from the Great North over on the other side! Yes, winter has its moments!
I try not to let it affect me, but the lack of sunshine in the winter gets me every year. Each year I say that the following year, I'll go someplace nice and it never works out for the most bizarre reasons. I think I'm cursed.

pedro27: well
There is now a recognised psychological condition know as seasonal adjustment disorder, or SAD for short.Especially prevelent in the winter months, marked increases in depressive illness reported during this time.
Just watched the Canadian Ice Fishing videos - Brilliant!
... It's the dreich, dark winter days that make you feel miserable, but I think that is only really because I'm not too active any more (due to M.E.). I remember when I was hill walking or doing a long distance walk in that kind of weather, and it didn't really bother me...it was all part of the experience. I think dark, dreary days are worse when you are looking at them from indoors. Once you get out outside, as long as you are dressed for the weather, it's fine.
I REALLY hope that we get some kind of Summer this year though! Been a wash out here for the past 2 years. Last Summer was "one week in March" if I remember correctly!
