As the song goes, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. There can be a magical sensation for some associated with a blanket of snow that can appear to make people feel happy, particularly approaching the festive time of year. So, is there any science behind an uplift in mood brought about by snowfall? And are there any benefits to feeling nostalgic when snow is falling and being childlike? These questions get answered in the attached pieces about the psychology of snow.
See my blog post on the UKCP website on the psychology of snow. See also my quote in Stylist: The psychology of a snow day: why winter weather fills us with nostalgic joy.
