I know what you’re thinking – I’m out of ideas and sick of writing these daily entries. You’re… not entirely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this is a real thing that I’m advocating! It’s not just filler like Elf Bowling<\/strong> was! I think that taking a half hour out of your day to go for a winter walk is such a nice, relaxing activity. And you may very well need it after a stressful Monday at the office. I know I often do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I find that the best times to go out are either early in the morning, or somewhere after dinnertime, when fewer people are out and about creating a ruckus. Natural calm and quiet tend to make for the best walks. The evening is especially nice for a winter walk, when the sun is down and there are lots of decorative lights to enjoy. Even just the regular streetlights and whatnot can lend a calming iridescence to the snow-covered landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is all assuming that the weather is decent, of course. You go out on a windy day and you’re going to have a bad time. But if there’s no wind, you could feasibly go out when it’s like -15 and not be too uncomfortable. Bonus points if there’s a light snowfall in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I, in fact, went out for a very pleasant stroll on Saturday, and it was the exact day that winter really started to show up. About -6 or so, with no wind and just the lightest of snowfalls. Basically, the perfect day for a walk. If only I had spent more time enjoying the snow-covered scenery, instead of being totally absorbed by Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/strong>. But such is the burden we bear on Community Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know what you’re thinking – I’m out of ideas and sick of writing these daily entries.
