Enjoying the cold weather

We're gatekeeping seasons now? Winter is best enjoyed however the fuck I want.

I love both parts . Thats what makes winter special

people be like 'i love summer' and be swimming, wearing hats, using fans. no. stand out in the blistering sun till youre red. lets see

Counterpoint: Try chilling in your living room under a heated blanket with some cozy socks on and sipping hot tea when its Summer.

When it's too hot you aren't always able to get cooler.

When it's too cold it is always possible to get warmer. If only in a small way.

In the middle of winter you can put on another layer, wear fuzzy socks, drink a nice warm drink, hell even just blow into your hands. But in the middle of summer sometimes you just have to suffer.

I fucking love winter and no one can take that from me

My response, "You can always put on more layers, you can only take off so many."

When I was a kid, I bundled up and went out in a -80F wind chill blizzard, just to say I did it. I almost got lost on the street in front of my own house. As an adult, I love going out in snowstorms in the car to pull people out of ditches. Doesn't matter what car I happen to have at the time. A few years ago, I went out on my motorcycle when it was 18F, again, just to say I did it.

Come at me bro.

People aren't allowed to love different weather in relative safety and/or comfort?

You see, if it gets colder I can put on more clothes, if it gets hotter then I have to take stuff off and you can only get naked to a point before you have to start ripping your skin off and then you gotta wait for it to grow back.

Challenge accepted, let's go. I'll pack a thermos full of piping hot coffee and a nice jacket, let's take a walk in nature and appreciate how even though you can hear everything, it's still quiet.

People be like "I love the sun". Jump on a rocket and fling yourself into it and see.

But that's why they love it. They don't have to have any reason to explain why they're curled up on a snowy Saturday afternoon binging romcoms.

The best part about winter is that no one else is outside. You get to walk around and breath in the crisp air and just enjoy the world. No people, no problems

But during the summer it's much too warm for the fuzzy socks and the heating blanket. I want it to get super cold outside so I can make it warm again.

Plus, winter clothes are so much cozier.

Maybe I just love sipping hot teacacao, while wearing cozy socks and beeing wrapped up in a heat blanket?

Love it. Nice two hour walks in light snow, shorts on, bit of Portishead or The Cure on the headphones.

And the best bit is, no fucker else around.

I'd sympathise with those that like warmer weather, but I went to Tenerife for a week and spent every day dead from heat. And it stank. You got your shit, I got mine.

"I love winter" does not mean "I want to freeze my but off."

Ok? Try doing those things in summer

Gladly. Come "enjoy" the heat of 40ºC and 70% humidity and you'll quickly prefer the cold as well.

I certainly love winter more than summer

still love it.

i like winter specifically because i get to wear winter clothing which is such a vibe, people need to learn to dress better.

tight-fitting wool underclothes, fluffy middle layers, and a cloak on top to block wind. cozy as fuck and you barely notice the low temperature and you don't get sweaty either.

Huh? I'm sleeping naked the whole year under the thinnest blanket I can find. Also prefer 5 to 15° degrees outside. Summer people are so delusional

Have their ever heard of people who like skiing or any other winter sport lol

Bet

I love shoveling snow when it's crazy cold outside. Bonus points if it's still actively snowing. There is something meditative about it.

That's the point.

I enjoy driving in snow. Doesn't matter if i it's a car, motorcycle or bicycle but I m not fan of no snow winter with low temperature .

I like how it looks.

I play in the snow every year.

It's not like we're gonna have winters soon... Might as well enjoy it.

If I try doing any of that in the summer either I die of heat stroke or I die of starvation (because I can no longer afford food because of how much I'm spending on AC).

Ha I live in Australia

Summer would be pretty good if I could wear a negative amount of clothes

I’m in Australia. Winter here is basically spring in California.

Autumn/fall FTW

I love winter. Trout move into our rivers to spawn and the obnoxious litter bugs are gone from the parks.

In shorts, no shirt 😁

I've come to a decision recently that even if I prefer winter, winter is the wrong best month. And so is summer.

Both arguments are right. I don't want to sweat my junk off and I shouldn't be happy to pay extortionate bills to be comfy. There are two other seasons where it's not extreme. One for people who like plants and one for people who like the colour orange.

Weirdly I'm surprised that they aren't more popular since they are the sign the apex of your discomfort, whether that be cold or hot, is over.

I have a cozy jacket too.

Snowshoes & shorts are a classic combination.

I only ever choose to go outside when it's cold.

Fuck the heat.

Put me out in the cold, I love the cold! Coldness is kind of a state of mind. Obviously there comes a point where being too cold is dangerous, but I find I can think myself out of being bothered by low temps.

I think it's the Norwegians who have a saying something like, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes for the weather". I have a lovely Kangol jacket which keeps me warm in cold environments (and sweaty everywhere else)

I am the person they describe except I say I hate winter.

People be like "I love winter!" from their living room under a heated blanket with some cozy socks on and sipping hot tea. No. Go outside and like it. Let's see.
