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
All seasons suck.
❌ hot girl summer
✅ cold bitch winter
Nah fuck that winter sucks ever since global warming took all our snow and left us with rain.
yeah, and made the summer even hotter
Except our summer this year has been so fucking cold I literally got sick for the first time in like 3 years. We had like max 2 weeks of summer weather and the rest was rain with temps around 15°C
Where do you live I’m in the Middle East, so I’m going to be biased
I live in the alpine part of Slovenia
Makes sense
What makes sense lol?
You in an alpine part even in the Middle East I went to an alpine part, and it was cold in summer
so fucking cold I literally got sick
Low temperatures don’t make you sick
No but sitting outside for 6 hours in 15 degree weather in only shorts and a t-shirt without the sun showing once through the clouds does fuck you up enough to get sick for a week.
How? That sounds like the perfect temperature, not too hot or cold.
Yes except it was supposed to be warmer that day and sunny. I only had shorts and a tshirt on and got sick because not only was it about 5-10 degrees colder than it should have been, it was also quite windy.
i used to enjoy both summer and winter. now im an autumn enjoyer (+ that one day of snow we get during winter)
Rain here is a summer thing and that is wonderful, cools everything off, beautiful lightning and rainbows.
Rain in the winter is nonsense. It is so cold and you get wet and even more cold. Although - winter rain is not windy or sideways like summer storms so an umbrella does avail. But yes. Cold rain sucks.
Summer rain is fine when in normal amounts. It’s not fine when it rains every single day for the first 3 weeks of July and the temps drop to 10°C under what they should be.
Conpletely agreed fuck winter rain. Especially when it should be snowing or when it snows for a couple hours just wnough for it to begin sticking around and then after liek 10cm falls it starts raining. Fuck that cannot even have snow for a day? Or it snows then rains the next day. Yeah just ruin my mood firther why don’t you.
Thankfully I don’t have to deal with either. I moved to a Mediterranean climate so we have warm spring and warm autumn. No summer and no winter.
Where that? Because some of the Mediterranean countries seem to get pretty hot in the summer .
Imperial Beach, California. We haven’t cracked above 74° F or 24° C this year. Also the low for the year so far was a bit warmer than usual at 42° F or 5.5°C
Oh I thought you meant somewhere actually around the Mediterranean lol
I’m from Oklahoma. Let me give you an overview of our seasons, beginning with
Spring: Starts mild, ends warm. Thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, and flooding are the main stories here.
Summer: Hot and muggy throughout. No clouds, rain, wind, relief. All you can do is make your clothes wet. Sometimes, I just point a leaf blower up my shirt. And at my testicles. I take cold showers all summer. It’s about the only way I can cool down enough to get some sleep.
Autumn: It’s like spring, but in reverse. Thunderstorms and tornadoes do happen, but rarely are they strong.
And finally - Winter: Nothing happens in a typical winter. It might snow a couple times in Central OK. And that’s really it. Once or twice every decade, we might get a historic winter storm. But most years are super uneventful and mild. It freezes most nights in deep winter, but only just.
In short, all four seasons are trying to kill you, but winter isn’t trying that hard. Spring and autumn are briefly nice. The average temperature might be 72, but what’s being left out is that it could be 91 on Monday, 49 on Wednesday, and 87 on Saturday. Or it could be between 65 and 75 all week. You never truly know until you get there.
At least it’s not, say, Iowa. I know for a fact their summers are almost as hot as ours, but their winters are waaaaaayyyyy colder.
I’ve tried to tell my wife many times that it is just as hot and humid here as it is where she’s from in Mississippi. Dew point is dew point, no matter where you are. It’s just that the humidity here goes away sooner and stays away for longer. And we don’t typically get tornadoes on Thanksgiving or Christmas. The southeast definitely does.
Anyway, we vacationed in Seattle last September, and - cost of living be damned - now I want to live there. If not for the weather, then at least for the seafood. But I love my nieces and nephews too much to be that far from them.
I moved from Oklahoma to Washington, don’t let your dreams be dreams.
I genuinely feel like people who say they love 85+ degree (F) weather belong in an institution. I have met some of these people.
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.
Seems like there’s some correlation with your average Florida Man and many of them seem to belong in an institution too.
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.
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)
Hate Summer because heat
Hate Winter because cold and depressing ( IDGAF about people moaning that heat is depressing, in Winter everything is depressing since snow went extinct )
Gimmie warm late Spring all the day tho. Maybe with water warm like at the end of summer. Perfect mix.
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.
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.
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.
Winter is better because you can always add more layers.
You can only remove so many in the summer before the police get called.
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.
This is only true in some locations. Most parts of (populated) SoCal don’t even reach freezing temperatures in the Winter.
Eh if you grew up with the stereotypical winter, you enjoy how your face feels
Shouldntve started with degloving
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
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.
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
Summer better because it’s not depressing
It’s only hard to feel depressed because the sweltering heat makes thinking harder.
Nah, summer is super depressing. All I have the energy for is to lie under a fan and slowly melt into a puddle of listless, sweaty sadness and long for death. In the winter, I’ve actually got the energy to get up and get shit done, build a snowman, frolic. Less sun is less headache too, so bonus points for it being dark all the time.
I guess it helps I live at a higher latitude where summer isn’t as hot (although it’s getting hotter every year)
