Does anyone else love that smell of winter? I don't know how to describe it, but you know it when you smell it. Maybe it's just the cold dry air of the northeast. But I was walking into school this morning, super grumpy, and then I smell it. And suddenly, my day brightened. Anyone else know what I am talking about?

So lucky! I live in southern maine, and we haven't seen snow yet. However, the weather said possibly snow friday, and I have no school.... so I am gonna be jibbin' a rail in my yard. Sad, but it gets me on my skis.

No. Probably not a lot, at least where I am. Southern VT is getting 6-12, around SR should be getting 3-6. Where I live, maybe an inch but its October so i'll take it.

i feel like everything smells better when its cold out. also the company that caters all the food at my school is the same at my local ski hill, so the dining hall always smells like the lodge. me gusta.

I live in Maine and I'm stoked for sunday river to get snow. A week or so ago it was 33 at night. It smelled like winter. I just stood outside and took it in. It made me so stoked for winter.

For the past two years on my last football game of the season, it has snowed. I fucking love the feeling winter brings to me. The cold brisk air in the morning and through out the rest of the day just relieves me of all stress. God I fucking love winter. Can't wait to start skiing again <3
