For those of us who live in the Great White North, nothing puts a damper on our year-long picnicking plans quite like the prospect of a snowy winter. It's freezing, it can be uncomfortable, and we have to retire our recently purchased summery flats in favor of our tattered Uggs circa 2006. Not to mention, getting up at the crack of dawn doesn't promise a cheerful sunrise nor a bus that's on time (thanks, snowstorm!)
But there's something to be said about Mother Nature's sneaky ways of making a dark situation all better with beauty. We've scoured social media for the most stunning photos of snow, from everything from the calm after the storm, to the most unique of snowflakes. Misery really does love company, so without having to venture into the cold, here's some exposure therapy to help you acclimatize to the snow.
