Grey sky... all day sub-freezing temperatures... bitter wind... a thin layer of snow freezing to the ground... semi-dusk turning to darkness without a noticeable transition...
Illuminated streets... stands selling cheap tat alternating with stands selling mulled wine and mead... people holding plastic glasses containing steaming alcohol beverages to keep them warm...
A few buddies from work and I joining the crowd, gathering under a propane heater but still shuffling to keep the feet as warm as possible, holding tight to our still hot but cooling fast drinks, chatting about stuff, savouring the time...

Sounds chilly, yet still pleasant. Friends make the cold more bearable.
Yes huge snowflakes and quiet streets and a crackling fire or maybe sitting in a hot tub surrounded by snow.
Heaven.:)
Sounds breath taking to me :)
quilly - as you know, i don't like cold but yes, a company of friends does make it almost bearable
a lady's life - not exactly. i strongly dislike winter and everythin about it... but i agree, being somewhere warm and cosy is nice
