How come you never see anyone flying a kite in the winter? Do kites not fly in the winter? Does the wind not blow in the winter? Some will say, It's too cold to fly a kite in the winter Morrison". But, then how do you explain down hill skiing, snowshoeing, football games and polar plunges into arctic-temperature rivers. Beer? Perhaps in the case downhill skiing and snowshoeing, but at a football game? Never.
No, there is a deeper reason why we don't fly kites in the winter. And I want to know it. But I can't find it on Google. So, I'm going to ask you to find it for me. Tell me the reason you never see anyone flying a kite in the winter. I'll make it worth your while. Hint Hint.

I shall give you not one, but four.
1. If there is enough wind to raise a kite, there is enough wind to measure significant wind-chill on any exposed part of your body. Frostbite is not your friend.
2. Kite flying is a stationary activity. Go stand in an open field or park on a windy wintery day. Other outdoor winter activities all have one thing in common: you’re moving.
3. The mechanics are all wrong. You can’t feel the ebb and flow of the kite string through your padded gloves. You can’t enjoy the feel of the string as you pay out or pull back. Where’s the romance?
4. Kites belong to colorful seasons. Winter is the monochrome season with white, shades of grey, more white and sometimes blacks. A primary-colored kite is going to upset the whole experience of winter for everyone.
