    You can only be cozy in the cold weather, plus you can wear a coat if it’s cold but you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot. When I was too young to fully understand seasons I used to have nightmares about it suddenly becoming summer because it’s just such an awful time of year

      This is a large part of the winter appeal for me. Dressing for winter is easier then for very hot weather. Although I do use a wide brimmed hat for heat now, it’s like a tiny free cooler!

    I like winter because I can control it, you can always get warmer, it’s harder to get colder in summer.

    While winter is far from my favourite season, it has its charms:

    • Cold temperature outside means indoors is never too hot for comfort
    • The snow is pretty
    • Winter sports are fun

    Given the choice, I would take spring or autumn however, which has more sunlight and better conditions for biking

    Went hiking with temps in the 20s last weekend. Saw some elk. 10/10 would recommend.

      Last week we had a number of days it was in the twenties. I take my dog hiking every morning become breakfast. We go out on mostly unused trails so she can be off leash, because of that I do not see much wildlife. Bit I did see a Bald Eagle trying to catch breakfast this morning.

    For me it’s partly the cozy socks, partly the fact that people in general aren’t out and about as much so it makes the whole world feels less chaotic and overstimulating.

    Jokes on you. I love the cold. I unironically enjoy being out in - 30 weather. Yes its cold as fuck but it feels fucking fresh. If theres a bit of sun too. Perfection.

    What’s wrong with loving putting on snuggly warm clothing in winter? Not to mention that I love both warm inside and cold outside in winter.

    When I was a child, I loved snow. The adults told me that when I had to start shoveling the walkway and driveway, my love would fade. It did not.

    Then I was told that when I learned to drive, I would hate it. First snowstorm after I got my license, I instantly headed out to an empty parking lot to practice donuts. I’ve been caught in sudden storms and watched other cars slide off the road. I still love snow.

    Then I was told that when I got a job and had to support a family that I’d hate snow. Yet this has come to pass, and I still squee like a child when snow starts. I long to take walks in it. I dream of sledding, or building snowmen, or throwing snowballs, even in my middle age, even if I can no longer run as I used to.

    No, you will never take my love of winter from me. Summer heat, get thee behind me.

      I hate driving in the snow and rain, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the weather.

    Yes I love winter and I love being outside during winter, I imagine I would have a whole other perspective if I couldn’t afford to heat my home.

    Well, there’s a reason humans evolved at the equator. Summer all year round and when you’re hungry, you just grab a banana. The rest of life is chilling and banging rocks togehther.
