To author Kari Leibowitz, the idea of writing a book celebrating winter was hilarious. Growing up in New Jersey, she refused to drive her little brother to school unless he preheated the car. This professed winter-hater went on to become a researcher and Fulbright Scholar at the University of Tromso in Tromso, Norway. Tromso is located in one of the northernmost parts of the world, a place where the polar night lasts for about two months.
