Yes, winter is nice. November is not winter. November sucks. January and February tend to be colder and dryer, at least in Estonia. December is hit and miss, but tends to be cold enough by the end of it.

November hangs around near-freezing. It's cold, but not a nice cold. The proper cold feels nicer. It's constantly raining. There's mud everywhere, all of the time. It's pretty dark, you rarely see the sun.

-20C is nice. +2C is not. +2C is usually colder than -20C. Even with the same clothing. Fuck +2C
