As someone who sleeps inconsistency, it's nice to have extra hours of darkness.

I also love feeling warm and cozy under my blankets after being cold at times during the day. Makes bedtime that much better

Definitely my shoes and socks being wet for the next 5 months.

Living in a place that never exceeds 85°F (29.5° C) and never gets below 40°F (4.5° C)

Sun sets at like 1 PM where I live, midwinter. It's depressing.

[–] RBWells 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I live where winter is short and mild, and most people love it.

Even so, even here, when you ask people what they like about winter, it's sweaters and boots, cuddling up with hot coffee, sitting around a fire. Literally describing warmth. They like being warm. Why not enjoy the summer then?

[–] Noodle07 2 points 11 months ago

Because the summers are now scorching hot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I like the burn of frigid air going through my lungs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cold winters are worth it for cool summers. But now I live somewhere where the winters are cold but the summers are hot :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Man, I feel that. Used to live in MN for quite a few years, and both the summers and winters could be brutal. I'm about 300 miles south now and somehow both winter and summer are milder 🤷‍♂️

It sets here a little after 15 T_T, and even before it sets, it's so low in the sky that the houses and trees still block it.

But at least we have a little snow right now which makes everything brighter. Here we don't even get that much snow anymore.

I love the cold. It's the best.

I don't have to listen to leaf blowers and lawn mowers at 6am and the neighbors aren't mowing lawns every day of the week.

Any time not winter here is allergy season and none of the above helps.

Toothache 😌

The suicidal agony.

But then there's the best part of waking up, the Folgers in your cup.

And your brother surprising you by coming home for Christmas from the Peace Corps and getting to fuck him

cries in SAD

literally just dress better, learn to apply layers correctly and suddenly going outside in -10°C is actively comfortable.

Tight-fitting wool underclothes, fluffy mid layer, and wind-proof outer layer. This wicks away moisture from your skin and traps insulating air.
