Mrs. Happy.
I know there are so many people here in the Mountain Kingdom who are so excited about winter they can barely contain themselves. This is a ski and winter sport mecca, so I get that. People look forward to this season all year and obsess over snow predictions as a Wall Street investment banker might obsess over the stock market. I get it. Really, I do. There are a significant number of people out there, however, for whom winter is an incredibly difficult time of year. You see, I have a wee touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and that is one reason why I tend to get cranky when winter rolls around. Actually cranky barely describes what starts to happen to me when the days shorten, the low cloud descends and socks in the town with greyness, and the cold and gloom take over.
