Favorite Season- Winter.

The city of Buffalo is known for multiple things. Whether it be the Sabres, Bills, Chicken wings, and my personal favorite, the winter. The winter in Buffalo defiantly makes it unique. Some people live here for it, and some people live down south to avoid it. I personally enjoy the Buffalo winters for multiple reasons. I really enjoy playing pond hockey. When my pond freezes in the winter, we plow it and transform it into a mini ice rink. There have been some pretty memorable plays on that rink, whether it be the speedy skating of Alex Darrow, the goalie heroics of Austin Hopcia, or the underdog fighting matches from Garrett Rutan, there is always guaranteed to be a show.  Although I am not a great skater, or hockey player at all for that matter, I still enjoy the excitement. One of the cool things about pond hockey is that you can’t play it in the south. Another thing that I enjoy about winter is tubing. Now, tubing in the south and tubing up north mean two very different things. Tubing in the south is when you lay in an old tire tube in the middle of the swamp with a glass of sweet tea in one hand and a crispy, deep fried chicken sandwich in the other. Tubing up north, however, is not a walk in the park. Tubing in the north is flying down snow covered hills, which have been specially grooved to maximize speed. The tube rider holds tightly onto the tube handles through the gloves, and races the fellow tubers down the mountain. As you can see, tubing in the north is a bit more exciting than that so called “activity” that the hill bellies do down south. For these reasons, I hands down chose winter as my favorite season.
