Smart boy!

It’s even better with a full moon.
LX013 said, about 22 hours ago

I like trudge through new fallen snow, when the snow is on the branches of the trees, or ice, it looks wonderful! But it’s fine to know, that a warm room is waiting and a cup of tea or coffee!
Yukoner said, about 22 hours ago

… or maybe some northern lights.
MontanaLady said, about 22 hours ago

Haven’t seen Northern Lights in about 3 years. Hopefully the cycle is over and we’ll get them soon!!!
margueritem said, about 22 hours ago

Walking through the snow on a clear, crisp night with a full moon in the sky is heaven.
caucel said, about 21 hours ago

Hehehe you are rigth Calvin. (mag ;))

Is better inside in a warm room.

Each season has its rewards.

Have you ever been out on a very cold cloudless night and seen the stars sing? I swear I could hear hums like you hear when the wind blows over telephone wires.
Danielle180 said, about 21 hours ago

So true, but can you add a cup of hot chocolate. and a warm fireplace to get cozy, comfy, and warm to.

until you see the red eyes of a werewolf blinking at you….
kreole said, about 20 hours ago

Go outside ‘till you get bone chilling cold….then come back in to the fireplace to hammer home what you are blessed with.
jukeofurl said, about 20 hours ago

Agreed, if it happens only once, on March 20, less than 2” , the temp stays above freezing overnight. AND it’s all gone by the first day of Spring
WOLFBYTE said, about 19 hours ago

Beautiful but to cold, even for my standards.
Dino-1 said, about 19 hours ago

Winter can be beautiful!
grazer said, about 19 hours ago

Watterson’s first panel captured the feeling quite well.
Sajad said, about 18 hours ago

winters are special in moonlight
krishna preethy said, about 17 hours ago

Lewreader said, about 17 hours ago

Moonlight, newly fallen snow. Where is little Susie when you need her?
jrbj said, about 17 hours ago

It’s best appreciated when you are on a warm sunny beach in the Caribbean or the South Pacific looking at it on a picture postcard.
jbmetalmonster said, about 16 hours ago

he’s rite,
winter sucks
pamlicorat said, about 16 hours ago

Try a sunrise over the white, snow covered mountains with a light fog in the valley and the one you love with you. Nothing better.
dkram said, about 16 hours ago

A good many years ago I walked home from the village (about a mile up hill) on a new years eve under a nice big full moon. One of the nicest walks I’ve ever taken.

I’ll take the quiet walk at night in the new fallen snow knowing that I have that warm place to go to when I get cold. It doesn’t get much better…………………..

I’m running behind on my comics and just commented on yesterday’s but I think the same comment applies today.

It’s beautiful, the strip the comments. (Happy Tears Now!)
sharden2 said, about 15 hours ago

Hey, Lewreader,
I like where you’re going with that. That would REALLY make it perfect.

“Yukoner said,

Don’t give Calvin any ideas….
lobkiller said, about 15 hours ago

so much for global warming
chubbygirlcomics.com said, about 15 hours ago

Nothing truer then that, Calvin!
Tanya said, about 14 hours ago

Ditto to all! :)
BC13 said, about 14 hours ago

I like looking at it from a distance, like the clips of Washington, DC on my television screen.
Macushlalondra said, about 14 hours ago

It’s like looking at a lovely winter scene on a Christmas card. You like looking at it but not being out in it or having to shovel it or scrape it off your windshield. Hurry up spring!
Paul M. said, about 14 hours ago

…Unless it’s Sunday night and school has already been called off!
wbtthefrog said, about 12 hours ago

I was just thinking the same as Calvin. We got 2-3 feet of snow here in Pittsburgh over the weekend and it’s a winter wonderland outside. (I did spend the entire weekend shoveling though - good exercise!)
dsom8 said, about 12 hours ago

Current weather patterns have synched up with this retro storyline!
Stede_Bonnet said, about 12 hours ago

The only snow that I tolerate in my life is in snow cones, snow globes, postcards, holiday films and while watching the Winter Olympics from my cozy couch. The fact that millions of people choose to live with that stuff on a daily basis is proof that a large segment of the human population is clinically deranged.
Sean Ewing said, about 12 hours ago

Remember back in I think it was the 60’s or 70’s when everyone thought the world was gonna freeze up? Then there was global warming, and now there’s the theory of “if it’s not 70 degrees all year, then it’s our fault”
boydk said, about 12 hours ago

Hey Stede! I resemble that remark. ; ) I can’t imagine growing tired of the seasons. One of the best Calvin and Hobbes ever. Amen!
Susan001 said, about 11 hours ago

No crescent moon could emit that much light!

Methinks the Almighty is about to descend and judge humanity.

♫ Oh when the Saints

I want to be a part

Oh when the Saints

I once rode down the Blue Ridge Parkway after a snow and ice storm and under a clear sky with a full moon. All the twists and turns kept the moonlight reflecting at different angles. Every little branch was completely encased in ice. Everything sparkled. The very definition of ‘winter wonderland’. That was almost 35 years ago and I still remember it.

And, of course, it was viewed through a car window.
bunnyface (bmonk) said, about 10 hours ago

Gee, I don’t remember this C&H. Lovely!

And new fallen snow on a clear moonlit night is great, especially through a window.

Even better while eating ice cream. (Vanilla, natch.)
jtpozenel said, about 10 hours ago

Looks beautiful, until you’re out in the cold shoveling it!
dahawk said, about 10 hours ago

Hmm. What’s Calvin doing up so early in the morning? The crescent would be the opposite if it was evening.
dudeabideshou said, about 10 hours ago

Yes, a moonlit tramp through snowy woods sounds delightful, but here’s why I like to live in the far South (Houston): I like to visit mountain areas and ski on the snow, but want to leave it behind when I go home.

We had one of our rare every 5-6 years snowfalls late last year in Houston. Local yokels marveled at it (including me), but luckily it didn’t stick and was not a driving problem.

A good comment from the right side of the window

“Looks beautiful, until you’re out in the cold shoveling it!”

But that’s part of the point–on a clear moonlit night, through a window, you can’t be shoveling it!
NyukNyuk2000 said, about 8 hours ago

There’s no snow where I live. In fact there’s buds on the trees like it’s Spring. (And no, I don’t live in Florida) Might get snow later in the month.
Johanan Rakkav said, about 8 hours ago

I’m in Houston, too, but I was born in NW Ohio and stayed there until 14. I’ve gotten thin-skinned since my move south; now I can only tolerate cold when it’s also dry (as it was when I visited Taos a few years ago).

Stede, it can be equally well argued that a vast segment of the human population is clinically deranged because it puts up with subtropical summers and tropical weather year-round. I don’t deal well with those either.

Cool and dry or hot and dry, yessirreebob. I can deal with those. If I want humidity, I’ll take a shower.

But this is a truly gorgeous and evocative strip. The only such night I liked better was one where the snow was gently falling on a California resort to the accompaniment of a lighted lamp and a young lady friend who was enjoying the event with me.
khpage said, about 7 hours ago

Calvin the existentialist has it right. Looking out the window at all kindsa stuff is cool. Best window experience I had, in memory at least, is looking out the window on a Christmas eve night by myself standing next to the tree with only its lights illuminating the room. I was at my sister’s house. Everyone else had gone to bed. I put down some SERIOUS prayer that night, as I recall….
