Winter brings a certain atmosphere with it when it finally rolls around—lights start decorating homes and businesses, coffee cups turn red, people don cozy sweaters and no longer judge you for wearing leggings 24/7. But underneath the holiday cheer, when we’re all knee-deep in the old, trodden snow of January, winter really sucks.
