SCORE YOURSELF!
If you chose mostly As, you are: A Hibernator
You hate winter, especially when it means bundling up and shovelling the driveway. When the temperature drops, you hunker down and bolt the doors, avoiding winter at all costs. Your idea of the perfect winter night is staying inside, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket by the fire. Netflix and chill counts as a winter activity, right?
If you chose mostly Bs, you are:A Southern Escape Artist
Winter excites you—not because you intend to hit the slopes or build a snowman—but because you can finally escape to your tropical oasis. You love hopping on a plane, planting your chair in the sand, and relaxing with a Piña Colada in one hand and a good book in the other. Pack the sunblock!
If you chose mostly Cs, you are: An Apathetic Tolerator
Winter isn’t necessarily your jam but you’re fully invested anyway. The first snowfall means cracking out the snow blower to make sure you have the driveway cleared first thing in the morning so you can chauffeur your kids to their outdoor activities. One day, you might warm up to the idea of winter, but you’re not ready to call it your favourite season just yet. Worry not! The snow will melt soon enough.
If you chose mostly Ds, you are: A Winter Warrior
You anxiously await the first snowfall of the year because it means you can finally break out your layers! Winter makes you feel like a kid again—you always instigate a snowball fight or rally together a group of old friends to play pond hockey. You’re a total cold temp junky, and spend hours outside snowshoeing or skiing or skating. See you on the slopes!
