Who else hates winter?
I cannot stand the cold weather. I am also a winter denier. There is a tractor in my shed and a snowplow attachment right next to it. I refuse to attach the snowplow because I do not want to admit that it may snow.

It is snowing here right now. It is pretty, but obviously very cold and damp out.
I agree, snow is tough. It is kind of awesome you have a tractor. I love that.

I can tell that the winter is making you sad, probably because you feel what I call the winter blues.
Here’s some perspective on your case:
You are embracing Your Winter Denial Winter Denial as a mindset. Come on. Who wants to admit that it’s winter? That is no easier than enduring the winter cold. There is nothing wrong with accepting winter as a burden; sometimes, recognizing your feelings is simply coping with the harsh winter season.
The tractor and snowplow dilemma:
Leaving the snowplow unhooked sounds entertaining to keep the denial going. It is possibly the best way to say, “Not yet winter, please.”
Finding alternatives:
How about thinking not in terms of snow removal but rather snow preservatives and concentrating on planning delightful indoor pastimes, warm drinks, or a winter vacation to a warmer place?
Accepting the inevitable:
If snow has to happen, it might be good to make it fun, like making a snowman or a snowball fight.
Winter is difficult for many, only in a different sense. Resisting it is acceptable in one way or another. Learn how to let go of your winter denial and hopefully still have fun, even if it requires putting the snowplow in the shed for a while more!
