Here in New Orleans, we don’t experience much of a winter, at least not when compared to the northern part of the country. While some may wish for a white Christmas, here are all the reasons why winter in New Orleans is the absolute best.
- We don’t have to wake up at 5am to dig our cars out of snow.

- We don’t have to deal with black ice and terrible road conditions.
J Biochemist/Flickr Driving in snow is an absolute nightmare.
- We save money by not having to buy expensive winter jackets, hats, scarves, long johns, ear muffs, etc.
Dylan Pech/Flickr A hoodie will suffice most days.
- We don’t have to deal with parking wars during snow storms.

- We save money on our heating bill since we don’t have to use it that often.

- We can get away with flip flops practically every day.

- Our cold fronts give us a reason to open the windows to air our houses out.

- We can still enjoy the outdoors even in December/January
