Yeah all that stuff is great, love snowball fights.
Another thing I like about Autumn/Winter is the food. No better time to cook stews, roasts, soups, pies, hot pots and go to the chippy, British food can't be beaten at this time of the year imo.
I've always preferred it to summer really but like I say we don't get summer here and I'm very pale so burn easily in the sun
