I found this word while looking up the definition for yesterday's WOTD Hygge. It came in an email with words having to do with winter. And this is one that I absolutely love though apparently it is antiquated and not an official word even. I say we bring it back! I mean, after all, who hasn't experienced this?
Apricity -- Warmth of the sun; basking in the sun, especially in winter.
Years ago I was on a Q&A panel for some convention with friend and creator of Hyperborea, Jeffrey Talanian. Somehow we got to talking about how I was in Maine and he was in New Hampshire and how much we loved the weather in winter. He remarked about snow shoveling in shorts and I laughed and said I know exactly what he meant.
Sometimes, when the sun is beating down on you in winter, and the humidity is low and there is no wind, it can feel like a summer's day. Those who live in cold climes will know what I mean. It's such a pleasure to bask in the sun when the weather is cold and there is snow all around you.
I guess you could say I "appreciate apricity". Sorry... I just couldn't resist. :-)
