The biggest change that I've noticed here (southern Michigan) is that access
to the shorelines of streams and lakes is far easier in the winter.  In the
summer, a certain coldwater stream in my area can be reached only by
carefully cutting and pruning a path to the water's edge, or else the thorn
bushes will cut you to pieces.  During the winter, the stream can be reached
in many places, and I don't have to worry about bugs, thorns, razor-sharp
marsh grass, or rattlesnakes.
