Love it when it snows

Things outside do tend to be quieter when it snows. Does that make a hifi sound better? Well it might produce a lower noise floor in the room in some cases and that might help. Also snow days tend to be a vacation from normal life and that also could work towards one’s listening favor emotionally . Put those two together and you might have something.

When my hifi gear is outside and gets snowed on it absolutely runs far more quietly as it completely shorts out and stops working. So don’t do that. Therefore I’m in a rare state of agreement with Millercarbon (footprint).

Note that on the "upper right coast" where I live, general coldness requires double pane windows or storm windows or you’re crazy or live in a tent. Consequently, at least indoors, it’s ALWAYS way quieter (in winter) than living with open windows like I did in Hawaii where I sort of grew up. Also worth noting, I’ve been in NYC during a snowfall...it’s amazing the degree to which it hushes the drone of the city at least temporarily.
