I really love both seasons. You just have to find reasons to love it. For winter its sledding, snowball fights, snowboarding and hot drinks. For summer its swimming, sun bathing, icecream, and bbqs. Then spring and fall are perfect for sports and hiking and stuff

after that snowcrete we had here in the midlantic, I swore I’d never complain about the heat again. It’s tough, but I’m holding to my promise. (It’s only 98 out so far.)
Is snowcrete melted+refrozen snow?
Texan here. Winter used to be a nice break from our hot, humid, miserable summers. Now some years I don’t even need to wear a jacket. It’s just hot all year round now. I hate it.
I love snow!
The only season I can enjoy outside is Fall. Summer is too hot, Winter is too cold, and I get allergies in the Spring.
Fall is perfect.
Here in Australia I’m hosting a snow trip next week… there is still no snow in the mountains where we’re goin
Also f summer. Hayfever and bushfires suck
I have several friends in Australia. Most of them have never experienced snow so how unusual is that really?
There’s no limit to how many layers I can wear in winter, but there’s a limit to how many I can take off in the summer. Simple as
You don’t have a knife? They’re not nearly as expensive as a good coat.
Even with a knife scraping off everything that makes you human, you will eventually encounter a limit.
And eventually the coats will crush you, create their own weather system, collapse into a black hole. What’s your point?
There is definitely a limit to how many layers you can put on.
I mean a shirt, sweater, and insulated jacket can keep me very warm flying down a windy mountain at <-20C so do you really need that many layers?
I’ve done undershirt - overshirt - jacket 1 - jacket 2 in the dead of winter. If the Sun vanished and the temperature plummeted to -100 I’m pretty sure i could figure out how to add a third jacket and then a blanket on top of that.
This is everyone in Arizona in the summer. “At least there is no windshield scraping!”
AZ people are delusional.
Peggy Hill was right
Phoenix is a monument to the hubris of man.
Phoenix and Vegas are competing for worst place to build gigantic cites.
Amen! I may not believe in a god but if I did, it’s obvious that land was not meant for humans.
Ooh, Arizona, sounds exotic!
Where is that? Somewhere in Africa?
*Everyone in Southern AZ
The high desert portions of the state like Flagstaff and Sedona get snow every year and aren’t nearly as bad as the Phoenix valley. It still gets pretty hot but it’s not the unmitigated hellhole of constant 100 degree days.
My name is Sam McGee.
Prefer snow to ticks and mosquitoes ngl.
this has a mtg feel to it.
Summer people are all masochists.
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.
Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed.
Are you sleeping without comfy blankets? That’s on you.
If you want a comfy blanket then you want to be warm. Warm is good.
I want to get comfortably warm when i want it, not hellish ass HOT when the weather says so
Warm is innate, a primal need.
How are you going to become warm in the depths of hell?
No need to become, already am.
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.

Put on a nice warm jacket and you can get out in winter too duh
My wife when I show her this:
I love summer, but you have to do it right. Going to the store and walking across a hot blacktop parking lot is asking for a bad time.
Hanging out in a park, going for hike, swimming, hitting the beach, more daylight hours, ice cream, grilling and admiring the greenery. That’s peak life on Earth 🌎🌍
All of those things happen outside in the blistering heat with the sun beating down on you as your sweat makes your clothes stick to your body. No thanks. You can also do them all far better in spring or fall.
Heat index was about 42°C and humid today. Just being outside for 30 seconds was miserable, let alone walking. Can’t even think about any outdoor activities.
Yes, but not at more than 36°C. Possibly swimming though… in the shadows, so the sun doesn’t kill you with cancer rays.
