      Yeah, but we are warm and happy.

      Y’all cold weather people don’t make sense to us either. Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed. We describe nice people as warm, icy people are bad.

      Nobody wants to relax in a hammock when it’s icy and windy out.

        I never sleep better than in a near-freezing room with warm blankets. Well maybe on trains. Cold room with warm blankets is like the definition of cozy.

        A room so warm you don’t want blankets is miserable.

        Are you sleeping without comfy blankets? That’s on you.

        You can heat up a cold room and a cold bed in winter much more easily than to cool down during summer.

        I think that’s the problem.

        Winter people probably like bundling up inside. Summer people are outside doing things. Most of my summer people friends, also enjoy winter activities, just maybe not as much as summer.

        Winter people must be… Terminally online? 🤷‍♂️

          Nah, man, it’s a good theory but I know a guy who wore shorts in Antarctica. 30 years ago, too, not the pussy above freezing summers we get now. Totally mad outdoorsman, loves the cold. He’s not the only one, either.

          Remember, moving warms you up. That’s why skiers can wear those sexy Ned Flanders outfits and not die. Even though they are insulating, they’re only good for people doing exercise.

          Edit: And then there’s me, a guy who hates exercise and loves summer, because of all that beautiful cheery sunlight. Goddamn SAD.

          I am terminally online, but I spent winter in Kazakhstan, xinjiang, northern China, and Hokkaido, wearing a jacket doesn’t stop me from going outside, it just stops me from looking like someone just dumped a bucket of water on me after 5 minutes.
