15 '90s GIFs That Say "Me In The Winter"

by Megan Grant

Winter gives us so many reasons to celebrate: The holidays, that bonus at work, and the excitement of starting the new year fresh, for instance. On the other hand, the frigid temperatures and short days also bring out the monster in me. Good or bad, the season is special for its own reasons, perfectly summed up by these 15 '90s winter GIFs. Or perhaps more accurately, '90s GIFs that will make you say, "Me in the winter." Because we're all in this together, right?

Of course, I now happily reside is sunny Las Vegas, Nevada, where winters aren't much to talk about. Sure, the temperatures drop — but nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close to winters in the Midwest, where I spent the first 23 years of my life. In the '90s, elementary school would be canceled because it was too cold to go outside. Three feet of snow meant you didn't even bother trying to drive anywhere (but you did tackle some serious hills in your snow tube). Luckily, reruns of Hey Arnold!, freshly baked Pizza Rolls, and a toasty fire saved us more than once.

For better or for worse, the winter season is unforgettable. And regardless of where you live, I'm guessing you can relate to at least one of these '90s GIFs.
