10 Signs You Can't Wait For Winter

Most of us live for the hot weather and the long, sunny days that summer brings. But then there are others - us included - that flourish when the temperatures drop, the nights draw in and cooling down is replaced by cosying up.

Here are our 10 signs that you can't wait for winter...

1. You've secretly embraced the fact that UK summers are short (and like it)

2. You keep dreaming up ways to try out your brand new skis...

...and imagine it will be like this

...But it will probably look more like this.

3. You can't wait to ditch the summer diet...

In fact, work on your 'insulation layer' is well underway.

4. You've already worn your brand new winter coat

...Despite it being nowhere near cold enough.

And you sure as hell can't wait to bust out your new winter hat.

5. You're itching to test out your new snow boots as well...

...And your new jumper.

6. Winter always looks like this in your head

...And like this

...Even though you know it will be more like this.

And you have months of 'winter hair' to come.

7. You've been waiting since April to say this in earnest to someone.

8. And you kinda get where these guys are coming from

9. When you see a Munro with no snow on it.

10. Then you first see this symbol come up on the forecast for the first time.
