roll on the cold, crisp, clear sub zero winter weather
Yes. Sunny beaches and (sub-)tropical temperatures may look nice when being flown to them - for actually flying i.e. piloting an aircraft the criteria are quite different. I did my most beautiful flight (still a student, flying under tuition then) in February, the runway covered in two or three inches of snow.

The one type of weather one doesn't want for either, though, is what we are getting right now - low clouds and plenty of rain falling out of them. and lots of wind too. Bah, they used to call this summer...
