I can relate to a lot of this article’s allure of winter, snow, and night, all three things I love. All of them bring a sense of calm, even when being outdoors. Snow literally makes being outside quieter. I’ve often felt like a weirdo for liking these three, but I don’t care. E.g. I also like DST causing the night to start earlier. To be clear, though, I also like other seasons, and while I don’t enjoy losing an hour at the start of Standard Time, by then I’m ready for the instant extra hour of sun before bedtime — much like I’m sure the people of Longyearbyen are ready for the end of polar night.
