Closely related, being able to open my windows without getting a blast of unpleasantly cold wind.
Specifically, I live about 30 meters from one of the Great Lakes, so by opening the windows a crack I get to fall asleep to waves crashing against the shore. Which I can't do if (a) it's unwise to open the windows, and (b) the lake is frozen.

Yeah they kind of go together, here's an idea to cheer you up, read some H P Lovecraft about elder gods sleeping underneath frozen lakes trying to reawaken. In the summer you can always read Innsmouth stories before bedtime. I'm sure you'll sleep like a baby after that kind of stuff.
