I love both parts . Thats what makes winter special

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 64 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

β€œYou 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.

We're gatekeeping seasons now? Winter is best enjoyed however the fuck I want.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago

I contend that snowboarding is only enjoyable in the winter season.

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?

Imperial Beach, California.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to a Hobbit Hole. They're earthquake, tornado, and fire proof. Probably hurricane proof as well.

My response, "You can always put on more layers, you can only take off so many."

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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."

[–] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

People aren't allowed to love different weather in relative safety and/or comfort?

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.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (6 children)

What a dumb fucking statement. The weather outside is what makes doing those things enjoyable. JFC is she that thick?

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.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (9 children)

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.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

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

Winter: pile on the layers of warmth and comfort Summer: peel off your skin in an attempt to cool off

Maybe I just love sipping hot ~~tea~~cacao, while wearing cozy socks and beeing wrapped up in a heat blanket?

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Same. This is such an odd thing to gatekeep..

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 21 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

"I love winter" does not mean "I want to freeze my but off."

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ok? Try doing those things in summer

Gladly. Come "enjoy" the heat of 40ΒΊC and 70% humidity and you'll quickly prefer the cold as well.

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I certainly love winter more than summer

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

still love it.

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.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Have their ever heard of people who like skiing or any other winter sport lol

[–] amstafff@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Huh? I'm sleeping naked the whole year under the thinnest blanket I can find. Also prefer 5 to 15Β° degrees outside. Summer people are so delusional

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 years ago
[–] the_q@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That's the point.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I actually like being out in the cold., especially camping in negatives (under 273Β°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 46Β°C with high humidity and I've slept like a baby camping in -11Β°C dug in snow.

[–] Glimpythegoblin@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I 100% agree with you. I live in the southern US so most of the year is miserable to me temperature wise.

Also heads up kelvin is just notated with K no degree sign.

I love shoveling snow when it's crazy cold outside. Bonus points if it's still actively snowing. There is something meditative about it.

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 .

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I play in the snow every year.
