I walked to my hockey game @ the Coral in a t-shirt, on the way back my hair was wet and I was still semi-damp from my shower, the walk was pleasant.
I didn't have to warm up my car either way.
The was no windows to scrape.
I wore new leather shoes I got the other day not having to worry about getting them dirty/wet or just ruined.
Driving can be relaxing, not that I find winter driving stressful, it's just easier on dry pavement.
I like it when it snows and I know the driveway will melt by days end.
The house is a comfortable temperature and I can grab the paper, or things i wanted out of my car comfortably in my underwear
There is no water all over my garage from snow
My bedroom window or bathroom window is not covered in frost.
I don't have to worry so much about other drivers when the pavement is dry
I haven't played hockey on an outdoor rink in 10 years (yet still manage to play at least 5 days a week)...
I've never had a Chinook induced headache and don't believe that people do... it's a mental thing
I like being able to go out to a bar, pub or restaurant and not freeze between vehicles because I don't want to carry around a heavy jacket or line up for a coat check
All these things are tolerable throughout the year, but only because Chinooks bring a nice break from them.
I don't think I've seen many sunsets that looked as amazing as yesterdays.
