I love both parts . Thats what makes winter special
A brisk walk through a cold, snowy, almost silent forest followed by a warm fire and tea
🤌
That or some sick ass snow drifting.
Right?
“You like summer so much? Go stand on a blacktop fully clothed and tell me you love it.”
No, winter is nice for the warmness in the face of the harsh environment, enjoying the coolness on walks/etc. Summer is nice because we have respite from it in the form of a/c and shade and cool water. The hotness sucks just like the coldness. Our ability to survive in those temperatures are intrinsically linked to our enjoyment of them.
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
Read "To Build a Fire." I've been in places that cold, thankfully never lost in the woods. There are definitely places that you absolutely cannot get warmer no matter how many layers you put on.
Thankfully I now live in a place that it literally cannot get too hot or too cold.

...a subterranean lair?
My response, "You can always put on more layers, you can only take off so many."
I usually follow this up with "I came from Florida, and that's saying something when a 50yo man in a speedo and crocs is a common sight."
Lol, hopefully this planet ain't gonna keep getting hotter, otherwise we might need to legalize public nudity.
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.
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.
Yeah ngl it's pretty fun to tool about helping people get unstuck. We haven't had a really good blizzard in years though. :( Snow-bashing on a 4x4 trail, the two times I did it, was a fun way to spend several hours going a few hundred feet.
People aren't allowed to love different weather in relative safety and/or comfort?
People be like “I love sunshine” from earth under an atmosphere with a cap and sunglasses while sitting under a shady tree. No. Go walk on the actual sun and like it. Let’s see.
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.
There’s nothing quieter than the woods on a clear cold night in January. You can almost hear the owls fly by. Best time to see the stars, too.
What a dumb fucking statement. The weather outside is what makes doing those things enjoyable. JFC is she that thick?
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.
Yeah it’s why I sleep with a fan and 3 blankets one of them being weighted
Cold air + getting super cozy ftw
Plus snow is fun and then you can get even cozier when you come back in
So both, both is good
Maybe I just love sipping hot ~~tea~~cacao, while wearing cozy socks and beeing wrapped up in a heat blanket?
Same. This is such an odd thing to gatekeep..
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."
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 actually like being out in the cold., especially camping in negatives (under 273°K) or snow. I spent most of my life beach bumming in the subtropics and after adjusting to the initial climate change, find winter in an alpine environment much easier than summer in subtropics.
In the cold you can just put another layer on or go inside and it's refreshing. As opposed heat where you're naked, but that's it you can't remove anymore, and the massive dehumidifier/aircon somehow can't keep up, the town water's gone warm so a cold shower doesn't help much. You just wait for around 5:00pm when the daily massive storm rolls through dumping back down everything the day sucked up, leaving the roads steaming so much you can't see, and giving the sun a last 90 mins to suck it all back up again for a bit of nighttime humidity and the impossibility of sleep.
I have tried to sleep in 46°C with high humidity and I've slept like a baby camping in -11°C dug in snow.
I like snow sports more than summer sports. I hate perfusely sweating
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.
Have their ever heard of people who like skiing or any other winter sport lol
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
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.
