I'm taking Guestfellow's suggestion that non-Muslims need to be involved in more than just debate seriously. So, this is definitely a non-debate thread. Just tell us what are your favorite things about winter. I suppose we might learn a lot about each other's homelands as in someplaces winter means snow and ice while in others it might mean rain or drought. And it might not be weather, but other things that people love. So, let's see if we can share and learn and be civil with one another.
Okay what I love about winter is that there's far less people out at night, especially a lot less people wandering around drunk and making noise while I'm trying to sleep (I'm a light sleeper, wake up easily, don't fall asleep easily so I sleep little during summer). Plus there's far less of the little vandals out during the day.
I like how the landscape transforms when it snows. Everything looks and feels (under your feet) so much more rugged and natural. We usually don't get much snow but these past two winters has been very snowy (this winter so far, it might clear up).
I like how poeple walk more and rely less on cars. I know it's a major disruption for a lot of people, but for some it's a simple case of being too used to the car and discovering that, hey, they actually CAN walk and hey, they actually kind of like it. Also I've noticed because of this people become more sociable and helpful towards one another.
Also I thought making snowmen/women was impermissible?
A lady reporting the news about closed motorways looked so cold that her breath was being taken away (she was gasping) even though she was wrapped up in puffy clothing. So it's pretty chilly.
I love the golden afternoons of winter.After 3 AM here,the sun light turns soft,feels a little warm and nice and the color turns light orange/golden.It makes every thing looks beautiful.I wish that this time stays long so i can enjoy the beauty standing in my balcony or walking on the silent streets.
Well, if drawing or sculpting animate creatures is forbidden, even if it's an imaginary creature, doesn't sculpting a snow creature fall under sculpting an animate creature?

Ohh... Well, I've never really considered drawing things to be forbidden. I mean, I've never been taught that it's actually forbidden, and I've met very few Muslims in real life who take that opinion... Based on my knowledge, there are differing opinions on it, and based on what I've seen, most Muslims (practicing, pious Muslims) that I know don't consider it to be forbidden at all... But I do know that people on this board feel differently, and I'll probably get quite a few responses telling me how wrong I am.
I love the beautiful scenery outside when everything is covered in snow. The calmness on earth. The refreshing peaceful breeze that hits my face. Ah! Priceless.
