magidhow beautiful the frost patterns can be (on the windows, on the hood of my car), feathers swirling or interesting angles
how i walk slightly differently, tensing different muscles as i try to avoid slipping (especially on those places where someone has _almost_ managed to clear the way, leaving just the perfect thin layer of ice...)
how the parking situation changes; four spots become three, and some are not good for someone without a gazinga truck-like thing to drive over the snow shoulders
how much the landscape changes with a blanket of white
how i have to leave an extra 5 minutes in the morning for scraping off the car, or pulling open frozen doors, or shoveling the stairs
how many different kinds of snow there can be
how the quality of light is different in winter, less lush than summer, but clearer, too (less yellow?)
