With winter well and truly underway with a bang, we are looking at what lies ahead for the next 3 months, during our coldest season and our longest nights.

For some people, winter signifies playtime – when they can get up onto the mountains and hit the slopes after a long, dry, hot summer – while for others, it’s a time for nights by the fire, mulled wine or a hearty broth.

We here at WeatherWatch.co.nz want to know what you love most about winter – whatever it is – and we’ll make sure that our news and forecasting coverage reflects our readership going into the season.

– Vote in our poll below and we will publish the results at the end of the week!
