I have liked the ones people placed here.
Winter is as you see it in your side of the world. It does not need to be an extreme Winter.

Here this is Winter:

ImageRaining

It's raining and there is plenty of water in the creek.

Winter can also be ocean storm waves. Aberystwyth had a very pretty storm with the waves coming to the Promenade. That's just an example. City night pictures with leaveless trees and lights on at 4PM it's Winter. People wearing Winter clothing also do the picture, etc, etc.

I find it easier to keep warm when it's -20C than I do when it's 5 above freezing, wet and windy.

A bit too late for the actual winter shot, but not for the after effects:

Just a crop and quick colour adjust from the phone original.

Three! Only three?
Life is difficult.
OK.

First
Moving the Snow
It's a pretty good photojournalism one and if i would be the editor of paper i would use it. The truck cleaning the streets, two people removing the snow of the entrance, a family complete with a stroller working their way thru the snow, and more of it falling.

Second
Cairngorm Weather Station looking like a snow sculpture and with a beautiful sunset behind it.

Third
Snow 9512 which i would describe as Snow Fun or Having Fun in the Snow.

That's the three, only three

I also liked the others

The road or path in London Ontario covered in snow and lined by trees , very pretty, giving me the feeling being there walking thru it.

The Plaza

The snow covering the plaza, the empty benches, and the band stand bringing some colour to the picture.

Cause and Effect

I really liked the perspective with the iced round thing and the water accumulating in the grass further down.

And the street
also with some amount of snow, the cyclist, some parked bicycles here and there, and even a Vespa, and a little very pale sunlight towards the end of it.
