You know what’s amazing? Cold ass dry snowy winter days. Bug free heaven.

I love the cold, clear, still winter nights when there's so many stars you think you're seeing things, and it's so quiet you can hear the owls fly by.

Thank you for perfectly describing just about all the reasons I would skip summer altogether if I could.

The one missing complaint from my end is that you can't do anything outside or in a non-AC building without instantly sweating like you took a shower with your clothes on.

And don't get me started on everything being on fire. The only thing worse than regular summer is a summer where you can't see the skies for several month's due to the smoke and you have to worry about your house burning down all the damn time.

Couldn't agree more with the OOP.

So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it's mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

It's always fun and games until somebody calls the cops.

Wym? That's the best part!

Same. I'll take 110F/43C any day over 10F/-10C. 85/35 is my happy place.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're right

You don't need refreshing if you're not already overheated.

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

Anyone saying summer 'only has good pr' doesn't have winters like that.

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

Yep summer in Scotland just means it rains slightly less and doesn’t get dark at 3pm

Exactly. In Seattle, summer is the best. High of 75 most days and because of the water surround the city, it only gets down to high 50’s at night. And our winters aren’t too bad. 45F/40F averages, just wet with the light rain.

But don’t tell anyone because we don’t want more people moving here!

In Alaska all of the seasons have their charm, except Spring. Spring is a bad time.

The thick ice on the roads starts to melt and you have wet ice for an unacceptably long time. All of the soft fluffy white snow on the sides of the road hardens and gets covered in dirt being spread to make roads drivable. Every time you leave the house it’s a harrowing experience, and everyone’s so used to the danger of driving they just shrug and go ”yeah, it’s bad out there huh?” Randomly you get a cold snap without snow just to make you suffer a bit before it goes back to thawing.

Not as intolerable on the west coast.

On the actual coast, sure. Come to the Central Valley of California, tho. Shit's basically the same as Florida except that it's not guaranteed to rain every day around 5pm. 90-100+ heat with 90-100% humidity. 😵‍💫

This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but he isn't known to have said it. Could be based on a similar statement about Paris by an English actor named James Quin in the 1700s.

Me in Seattle right now: it's too hot, it's too bright, there are too many tourists, I want the cold and rain back

I was gonna say no way to OP but you're right. If you're somewhere where it's mostly like around 100 F or higher then fuck that.
