When winter is good for you

“Is there any better tonic for living than a climate that ranges from 15 above at night to 35 above in the afternoon, that has an air both windless and dry, that has its sun rising through frost mist and its moon lavishing itself on a white world?’’

— From In Praise of Seasons, by Alan H. Olmstead (1908-1980) a Manchester, Conn. ,writer and newspaper editor.
