In Canada rn. Let’s see how this shit goes this year…
British summer is nice if you have air conditoning, otherwise it’s hell. British winter is nice for exactly 24hrs if it ever snows. You know that first 24hrs when it’s deathly silent at night because the snow is deadening all the sounds, and when you get up in the morning and the snow is still fluffy? That’s when British Winter is good. The rest of the time, the snow melts but not enough so it just turns to ice, you’re slipping everywhere, it’s freezing cold and extremely wet so you’re just completely soaked at all times.
Autumn and Spring don’t exist. You have Cold, Hot and Overcast.
Winter fans are deluded and so are Summer fans. Autumn and Spring is the best of both worlds. Not too hot, not too cold. Enough sun and changing weather. Perfect.
Autumn is better than spring.
Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn’t warmed up enough, so it’s always cold and damp.
In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you’re good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.
Autumns only downside is the leaves that need to be cleared. Some folks like to leave them but that creates a mess nearly as bad as snow. Burning is nice on really cool days but thats not always possible in the cities. Rakenbag is definitely an acquired taste because work. But even with all that, autumn still rocks
Not to mention they’re the two most nostalgic seasons, by a landslide. At least in regions that experience four seasons. There is nothing quite like the quiet promise of Spring after a long winter. One day you step out and warm sunshine is making your roof drip, and grass begins to show through the thinning snow. Familiar birds return and you spot the year’s first vegetation poking up through the soil. You can smell the Earth again. You’re flooded with memories of being a kid during the same months, lying out in the yard feeling that warm breeze blowing in.
Summer creeps up and slowly wears you the fuck out. Most of the flowers dry up and the grass gets scorched. Everything looks like shit, and right when you get tired of it all and want to throw yourself off a bridge, you notice the leaves turning yellow at an alarming rate. Nights grow cold, mushrooms pop up, and you remember how pleasant brittle leaves sound rattling along the street. Things get real damp and take on that nutty smell of decay. Some primal part of you gets real amped up for the harvest.
Halloween night brings with it the last echo of life, then the world grows quiet and dead. The frosts come and snow falls. Christmas is real cozy, and then a month later you’re eyeballing that bridge again. Doesn’t seem so high. Might be nice to throw yourself off it every now and again. Maybe this is will be the year…
Then one particularly warm afternoon you hear the trill of a robin.
Very well said. I can already smell the autumn breeze <3
That’s not the game though. Do you like summer or winter more?
Depends on whether i am being in a place that has AC. Then summer. I will just stay inside until it is sufferable outside and also there is more daylight.
Sounds like you like winter more tbh, cheers!!!
I loved winter when we still had snow and ice on the lakes. Makes me sound like a old grandpa but its true.
❌ hot girl summer
✅ cold bitch winter
Long as there are furs and fluffy stuffings for outerwear, winter can continue to be enjoyed. Step out into it naked and the fun stops
said by someone who has never experienced a real winter
Who are you to call your december, january and february more “real” than mine?
I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.
When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year
But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.
You call that a real winter? Come back to me when you have had at least -20 degrees, walked home when it’s snowing so much you can’t see across the street, and got only 6 hours or so of sunlight a day.
A dry -1f is warmer than a moist 20F
I’m no weatherologist, but I don’t think that’s how that works.
That’s below freezing
Like I keep telling my fiance when she complains about the air conditioning: I can only take off so many clothes.
Excuse me but I can only put so many clothes on. and scientifically, one more jumper doesn’t equal one more warm.
Not with that attitude
Why not?
I guess because it’s only trapping existing heat, and I’m a cold-hearted lizard.
All seasons suck.
Winter hot tubbing is the best.
I can’t wait until my wife and I reach the: it’s time for a hot tub age. We’re not quite there yet, but winter offers us a lot of cold for the joy when it arrives.
Is it illegal for young people to get hot tubs where you are at? 🤔
Other pressing financial obligations presently…
I genuinely feel like people who say they love 85+ degree (F) weather belong in an institution. I have met some of these people.
85 is not bad at all unless you have to work in the sun.
I am on a special interest forum, been a member for a long time and it’s got people around the world. A lady in Sweden said she was absolutely dying from the heat, could not sleep, because it was 23 degrees. Our AC is set to 78F most of the time and I am cool at that temp, but she would melt?
It really has to be what you grew up with. A real winter would kill me, I don’t know how people deal with it. Putting on clothes, taking off clothes, never really being warm, short daylight, hot food immediately getting cold because the cold air steals its heat, car won’t start but standing at bus stop so freezing then the bus uncomfortable because you are bundled up, WTF Winter People? What is it you like, or do you just like winter like we have here, the Swedish summer weather?
uncomfortable because you are bundled up
This is the important bit IMO. Being bundled up feels good, I always wear as much clothing as I can without sweating (unless it’s summer, then sweating is just a fact of life).
Also, 23°C in Sweden is hotter than 23°C in Italy or the warm parts of the US, because every building is built for trapping heat inside instead of cooling, and 23°C with sunshine is already enough to make it uncomfortable when you’re essentially sitting in a greenhouse.
I am one of these people. I feel like I’m only truly warm for a few days out of the year (I live in the UK…). The heatwaves we had this year, whilst environmentally devastating/concerning, at least warmed my core for a good few weeks.
Hi! I‘m one of them. Though 85F (30°C) is not that much, that’s barely enough to cool down in the pool. I also like 110 degree (42°C) showers. Also, my idle body temp is only about 96F (35,5°C)
Seems like there’s some correlation with your average Florida Man and many of them seem to belong in an institution too.
How do you know someone prefers Winter over Summer? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
you fuckin’ got me there
I just live in Texas. That’s all it takes.
Winter is better because you can always add more layers.
You can only remove so many in the summer before the police get called.
Shouldntve started with degloving
In stereotypical winter you can’t add enough layers since if you do add layers so your face doesn’t hurt you get accosted by the police because going to public places in a balaclava hasn’t been legal since the late 50s.
In winter as it actually happens you need fewer layers but they need to be waterproof because winter means rain at +2 °C.
i wear a balaclava on my bike all the time. the trick is not getting it in grey or black. mine are pastel.
Eh if you grew up with the stereotypical winter, you enjoy how your face feels
This is only true in some locations. Most parts of (populated) SoCal don’t even reach freezing temperatures in the Winter.
Walk around in a hot day -1hp -1hp -1hp
Enter car during a hot day -2hp -2hp -2hp
ackshually cold air increases HP because it’s denser, allowing for more combustion, didn’t YoU kNoW
I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is.
Winter because I can wear oversized hoodies and hide from the world :3
Summer because I can wear short shorts and long tops.
Nuclear winter because I can wear the bones of my enemies
Global warming summer because I can wear cheap plastic
How do you feel about patrolling the Mojave?
Multiple layers of shirts and hoodies, wool tights under pants and an extra pair of socks!
