I just got wind of a remarkable winter word: apricity. No, your mother didn’t use it all the time!

Ever notice how anything you say on social media has commenters swearing that either they or someone they know of has done it bigger and better?

Anyway, the meaning of apricity should leave you with a dreamy-eyed feeling and place a warmish glow upon your face. It is the mellow warmth issued by the sun in winter. One definition even has it as “the love of sunlight/warmth in winter.”
