Winter has been upon us over here more than "usual" these past weeks too. But with your post and the weather reports (including from the US) this quip about "digging" just was unavoidable, wasn't it?  Of course you are right about sitting down and enjoying. That's what I did every now and then after my early morning snow-shoveling workouts - working off my stack of unlistened-to recent arrivals in my record room.
