Let me paint a picture for you…expired, sharp leaves fall from the sky and litter the ground as you sit and shiver in a pure brown backdrop. It is too warm for a coat, but too cold to make the trek from your front porch to your car, which at this point, is frosted over. The highlight: the spread of brown foods that await Thanksgiving Day. Your doctor is not happy of course; you just gained 25 lbs. In the fall, life is bitter. But…winter is on its way.
The smell of Christmas and the white blanket that covers the ground all wash away the fall season blues. With Hallmark movies and hot chocolate, cozy fires and winter activities, there is nothing better than the winter season.
Today we are going to examine why winter is better than fall and ask the students what their opinion is.
The first reason why winter is better than fall is because of the snow. This godsend of white snowflakes serve as a chilly reminder that Christmas is on its way. It also serves to make winter activities possible such as ice skating, bobsledding, skiing, or much more.
Sophomore Nadia Gaydos tells us why she loves the snowy weather.
“I love snowy weather because it gives me an excuse to be cozy and watch movies all day,”said Gaydos.
Another reason why winter is better than fall is because it is intertwined with the Christmas season. These two seasons, which go hand in hand, are highly valued by American society. Specifically, it was reported in a poll that half of the U.S. population wishes these seasons would be longer.
Senior Bri Marando tells us why she wants the season to be longer.
“Cold blankets. Cold blankets are the best part of winter because when it’s cold you cuddle up in blankets near the fireplace and watch a movie,” said Marando.
After conducting a school-wide poll, we found that 66.2% of the students who replied liked fall better, leaving a measly 33.8% for those who prefer winter. While the poll reports that fall is more popular, we can all agree that winter is the better season. There is more to do, more to see, and boredom is never an option.
