What I like about this time of the year is that the snow tends to melt away after a few days. The real winter starts around Christmas, and then it will remain cold and white until maybe the end of March, with maybe just a couple of brief thaws (that I hate because they create ice) during January and February.
Once the ground itself gets really cold, it makes it less slippery, as the ice is sort of dry.
So, I have just a couple of more weeks to enjoy it, then we can settle in for the cold of winter.
