it is freezing in winter! that's why it's better! try ice-skating on a lake in june!
mf complains about heat but can't even be arsed to deglove ffs
My fingers and toes and nose would always stay cold in the winter, even if the rest of my body was so layered up that I was sweating. It's a bit odd wearing a ski mask indoors and wearing super thick gloves indoors is not always feasible either depending on what you're doing (eating, etc.). I compromised a bit with fingerless gloves, and it helped a bit, but not as much as I would have liked. And yeah eating foods with your hands just wasn't doable that way.
Idk. I'm one of those people that is always too cold. I live in a hot climate now and it sucks major major balls for riding a motorcycle (just learned recently), BUT I prefer this environment in every other circumstance.
does it lose color, or becomes white? theres a phenenom called raynauds(often associated with certain conditions), i get chillbians when it gets near freezing.
I'm with you, OP. Give me winter all the time. I might have to move North if this keeps up.
Oh year. I've heard polar days are nice.
I full on get vomitty if I get too hot. Give me winter. Give me cold.
Yeah I am the same exact way and have also been feeling very weird & sick lately (it was so bad I thought I had an actual flu or virus) but it's definitely because I am getting too hot. I lose my appetite. I can't think as straight. I get irritated. I start feeling lethargic but restless, and I feel lightheaded and wobbly. I only began to feel hungry and felt normal again when it's nighttime and cooler out. That's what clued me in to the fact that the heat was causing those issues the whole time.
This gets me worried/panicked especially with climate change making it even more unbearable. I don't want to continue feeling miserable for half the year, every single year, for the remainder of my life...
I like winter. If it’s cold I can just put on warm clothes. In the summer I can just bake.
Summer was only better than winter when I was in school. It was better because there was no school for 3 whole months in the summer.
Being able to do stuff after work with daylight in summer is nice. In winter its dark before I even finish work.
Perhaps I should get a more powerful bike light and do after work evening bike trips in winter.
Fuck the Winter!
I don’t mind melting skin and vampiric, malaria bringing insects as long as I can enjoy long summer evenings, cool drinks, the summerwind rustling in trees while laying in their shadows, eating icecream and going for a swim.
All this is monumentally better than the long darkness, scraping ice from your cars windscreen at 06:00 am and seeing nothing but bare trees for months.
Winter is fine for a month or so, then it should be time again for spring.
I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.
My condolences, that sucks!
And yes spring and autumn both are awesome. Nothing better than a clear, crisp autumn day.
Let me tell you about these magical lands called "equatorial mountain" climates.
See, you go to a place that's hot year round, then go 1-2km directly upwards, and you get 365 days of spring weather, only variation being how much precipitation you get.
Bogota, Medellin, Da Lat, Kunming, all amazing weather year round. They also tend to have tons of edible mushrooms.

There is a really jarring sensation when you go from wet, cold, and cloudy to hot, dry, and sunny by taking a 5 minute bike ride down into a valley, like you just rode into another world.
Hard disagree. In winter we have cozy warm clothing, crisp dry air to breathe, beautiful blankets of snow, houses lit up with decorative lights at night, and most importantly significantly less bugs! I love hiking and backpacking in winter. I would much rather sleep outside when it's 0 C/32 F than when it's 24 C/75 F+ at night. Once it starts getting warm here the humidity creeps up and you're just sticky for months. Sitting outside on my porch on winter mornings bundled up in my coat and scarf having my morning coffee is one of my favorite things. If I do this in summer I'm eaten by mosquitoes within minutes.
I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live, but here summer is hot, humid, full of mosquitoes and ticks, and just generally all around miserable. Late June through early September is the worst part of the year and it's not even close for me.
The only rational take here
Autumn, weather is good and there are berries to harvest.
I love autumn, and I loved spring, but I got some stupid allergies. So I love just autumn :D okay, spring with antihistamine is okay, and mild early summer is good too.

Oh i hate summmer from the bottom of my heart. Already just thebrightness hurts and makes it harder to see anything, but the main curse is the heat. By the evening I'm just exhausted and head is stuffed. Of course the night isn't much better, it's not enough time to cool down and then sleep is disrupted and shallow.
So I'm perpetually sweating, tired, grumpy, slower and weaker.
Dark winter nights are the best, exactly that time when i cant see the sun at all, screw that fucker. No brightness, sleep is much deeper, always full of energy and it's just so easy to generate bodyheat that the cold becomes nearly irrelevant.
I miss being able to regulate my body temperature by sticking out a foot from the blanket

lots of time after work for outdoor activities
Outdoor activities get cancelled more and more because of the heat this year. People not showing up at events because they don't like a heat stroke. It's a bit too much summer.
Yeah I can wear my flowy showy shirts and pants during the summer.
But I can't wear my turtlenecks, scarves, or snugly jackets. Not to mention that sitting under a nice hearty blanket sipping cocoa on a crisp evening.
The summer I can chill in the shade of trees sipping iced tea though which is also hella nice.
Both have perks and draw backs.
Just move to the half of the USA that's currently experiencing drought conditions and then at least you don't have to worry much about mosquitos. That's one point for climate change!

Y'all a bunch a weather bitches.
Honestly, I'm with you and I was gonna come on here and say something similar but my buddy is an electrician who works on new buildings and he deals with so goddamn much heat in those buildings that he can hardly function when he's not working. I'm all "go outside, drink electrolytes and lots of water, go swimming" but for some people this reality is hell.
I'll always take winter over summer if I had to choose between the two. I live in the northern US where it gets down to -10 degrees F regularly in the winter.
As long as I have a fan strong enough to redirect typhoons, I love summer. Fresh peaches and melon, beautiful sun, and time off. Winter's also amazing, but only because my lamps can change colour temp to deal with the awful mornings and evenings. The transitional periods are just gray, drab crap.
Why get a good nights rest when you can instead be cooked alive, day after day?
No, it's frozen here and raining and yucky.
Please send all your heats, we'll take them.
It's 42C here today, cooler than yesterday.
Will that be cash or check? Wait, come back
It's 92F in my house at 9% humidity. I have my ceiling fan, and an iced coffee. I'm good. I moved to the desert because I hate humidity. I still sweat here, but it's not nearly as bad as California in the summer. I think I might literally die in Florida in the summer, I've never been to Florida and I never want to go, for many reasons, including the humidity.
Winter here isn't too bad, mostly it's the short days and overcast that gets me. Windy cold days are the worst.
Six months out of the year are great, six months not as great, but still better weather here than anywhere I can afford to live, so I'll stay here.
Nope, it isn't. At least not for me. I am more team "shoveling snow in a t-shirt".
