I grew up in New England and know how discouraging this time of year can be in the Snow Belt — will spring ever get here?

Just let it go and embrace the winter, like Zelenogorsk does — put on a big floofy coat, keep your feet warm (with wool socks and boots, if a tail is not an option), then get out there and show the snow who’s boss.

It’s so nice to crawl back into your nice warm living space after a walk on the chilly side!
