You win some, you lose some

Winter pros:

• ·         Sometimes it’s beautiful (see the Hoar Frost post)
• ·         Random unexpected days off when it’s too cold to go out (pro/con?)
• ·      It doesn't smell bad

Spring pros:

• ·         Beautiful weather
• ·         More daylight
• ·       A few Saturdays “off” for me while the students have subotnik (cancel classes and go pick up trash instead! I tried to help last year, but they insisted I go home. “You shouldn't be cleaning up our trash!” they say. And frankly… I’m ok with that.)

Winter cons:

• ·         It’s cold (really cold)
• ·         It’s gray and blah
• ·         Very little daylight

Spring cons:

• ·         It’s muddy and dirty (I find myself walking down the road, involuntarily grunting and "ick"-ing my way through inches of mud.)
• ·         It smells like burning trash and cow manure (I’d nearly forgotten about this part. But it all came rushing back the instant I stepped out of my house on the first clear day of Spring)
• ·         The dogs start barking at night. Allllll night.

Nevertheless, I’d choose Spring, hands down, every time.
