Valentine's Day seems the perfect time to express my adoration for Winter. In all honesty, it's a love I never imagined experiencing. Winter was always the cruelest of seasons, I thought.

YOLO – NOLA
First, apologies for YOLO. I've never used that acronym before and I promise to retire it immediately. The term, that is. The sentiment? Not likely.
