Oh, and in summer atleast I can talk my dog for a walk beyond the concrete path as I don't have to fear sinking shin-deep into mud  |
+1 on everything said.
Its purely a weather decision for me and not based on what objects are available to observe. Nothing like observing at midnight in Summer in short sleeves. In Winter I'd rather be inside in front of my fire in the company if my family and a glass of red.
