Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I'm sure, but in Sweden it's quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.

Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.

Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.

Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we're going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.

I honestly love the solitude that harsh winters bring. And all the heavy clothing I get to wear, the much longer nights, going through my stockpile of canned and preserved goods. There have been winters where I was snowed in for weeks, and they were glorious

It's true, the brain and body need extra care to prevent depression during winter, but I'm much more depressed during the long, blistering hot summer months

Winter is quite nice when there is snow. We don't get that in Stockholm, for the most part.
