Have you ever noticed how bright the stars are on a freezing cold night?

It's like you can't enjoy the beauty of the heavens without giving up something. That's how it feels anyway. Standing outside in nine degree weather and looking up at the sky thinking, "Wow, what a breathtaking view. Holy shit my nose is freezing off."

I wonder why that is.... I mean I know that it's cold so that means we are further from the sun. But it's the same stars above so has the sun moved away from us? If that were the case then the stars would have less light pollution and be able to shine their brightest.... but then again, we revolve around the sun. So do our stars revolve with us? I have no idea. No scientific approach to this, just thinking out loud.
