Na winter can absolutely jog on. Give me my warm days and lots of sunlight.
It all depends on where you live.
I kinda like all weather, I’m a weather-appreciating generalist I guess so long as it doesn’t stay the same for too long. But I definitely like light more than darkness, and god damn the nights get long in the winter. The serenity of a fresh snowfall is not worth three months with < 8 hours of daylight.
If it stayed light until 8pm in the winter I’m sure I would like winter better than I currently do
I haven’t lived in the south where summer sucks due to the heat. But, I have lived in places where summer drags on too long. Like it starts in March or April and ends in November. By the time it is over, you’re kinda sick of long days, and the expectation to be outside. Winter becomes a nice excuse to not talk to anyone and go to bed early.
❌Hot girl summer
✅Cold bitch winter
Fuck that, where I am winters are; very cold days. short, overcast, rain and windy af
Summer is superb; cool, sunny, longer days
When i liveed in the tropics, summer was sweat dripping balls and horrible.
Your wingers sound delightful, trade you for my California seasons where the sun is a deadly Lazer most of the damned time. Even when it’s cold that bright fucker in the sky will burn your skin, though I guess I’m also exceptionally pale.
Summer is superb; cool
You haven’t been south and it shows buddy.
Summer? When things are green? I can get strawberries from our garden? It isn’t dark at 4:30 in the afternoon? I don’t have to scrape ice off the car while it preheats idling?
That atrocious season?
Yes, that season with 40°C (104°F) and up to 90% humidity, where you can’t be outside in the sun for a quarter of the available daylight if you don’t want to die young, and the only way to fight the heat is AC.

I used to live in Australia, and moved to the Nordics. I love summer and winter here. Australian summers are too hot, and winter is just wet and cold. Nordic winters have snow (hopefully soon) and it’s dry outside, and summers are maximum 30c, anything over 25c is a heatwave. I can deal with that.
That was also my strategy to fight global warming, I moved up North. I enjoy the climate here much more (even if my countrymen tell me I am crazy).
Yeah in the nordics you have actual seasons. You miss summer.
This is huuuuugely dependent on where you live.
It’s hot as shit here and things get brown, not Green.
Christmas also much less magical haha (because it’s summer)
May I present a counter argument:
#THE FUCKING SUN
Oh those two weeks where it’s like super nice and your replenish your vitamin d for the year?
Norwegian here
Ya that atrocious season. The season where you can walk through the woods on a full moon, the luminescence making the snow practically glow as the Milky Way makes its Milky Way. That season that has a stillness and quietness not found anywhere else, where you could hear a pin drop from a football field away. That atrocious season where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake, and get to feel clean from the inside out. That atrocious season where you get to cuddle up with your family in front of a nice fire and read a book. Bleh who needs it
where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake,
Be careful. That behavior can cause a stroke.
You should write a book. That’s top tier descriptiveness.
I like summer the most cause it’s the only season I don’t feel like shit. Whether it’s allergies, sinuses, or just general hatred for going outside (and no don’t tell me to just put on more layers cause I’m already wearing 5 layers in 8° weather and still freezing my ass off while struggling to move). Doesn’t help that I work in a cooler so spending 8-11 hours in a cold room only to leave into the colder outside isn’t enjoyable. I miss going on walks at local parks, but all I want to do now is get back in bed ASAP cause that’s the warm place.
I’m already wearing 5 layers
Why would you need more than 3 layers? Is your middle layer not insulating enough? Are there exposed parts of your body? If you don’t feel like wearing a scarf or mask, some vaseline on the nose/cheeks can help.
Tried the Vaseline cause I’m not allowed to wear scaves or masks at work where it’s also cold af. Didn’t work. Same with trying to wear 3 layers of cottom gloves while working which didn’t stop my hands from being in pain from the cold (they get cold faster than anything else on me) and more hinders my ability to work efficiently. I’m only comfortable when in a 70-85° area (or whatever my shower can get to at max heat). Any less and I’m freezing, but I can handle a decent bit more.
3 layers of cotton gloves
Big, bulky mittens, hopefully your jacket has straps on the wrist so no heat escapes there. If you need to use a touch-screen, they make 1-finger mittens.
My problem is with having to twist my hands and bend my fingers around my hook a lot. Work only allows the cotton gloves they supply which get changed out often due to them getting soaked fast which only makes it colder. They gave me these sleeve things which are extremely tight, but even wrapping them around the ends of the gloves doesn’t stop my hands from freezing.
wouldn’t you want 4 finger mittens?
More surface area=more heat loss.
in spring the rain is miserable, makes everything muddy, and you cant walk afterwards because of that mud + overgrown plants. and winter is just that but cold snow and the constant worry of my pipes freezing or water system fucking up. fall is decent but has nothing good for going on it, though going on walks at 100(f) is heavenly.
Depends on your climate. Climate usually cold? Summer is a relief. Climate usually hot? Summer sucks.
I used to LOVE summer but its just way too hot now.
Any maybe winters not cold enough people would appreciate some warmth
But I like warm! >:v
I like snow and I like sun. Everything in between is just grey, boring, depressing, with lot’s of wind.
Autumn is the best. It’s like spring but dry. It’s like summer but not boiling.
Yeah… i get ya… but for me autumn makes my brain go “Fuck! Its almost winter… Fuck! Its almost winter” Ad inifitum. So for me spring wins cause i know ive got maximum time until the freezing temps make my bones hurt, and patches of ice are sneakily waiting to make me fall…
Autumn and spring are usually pretty wet here in the UK… Which is fine because I like rain.
Hello fellow rain lover in the UK. I like the rain, and the dark. Walking in the rain on a winter evening is as good as it gets. It’s best when there’s no wind and the sound of the rain changes depending on what it’s falling on. That moment when I move from next to a lake to some trees (as an example) is amazing sound transition.
what it feels liek to come here as someone who likes summer…
(please, it is all in good fun, i understand how different people enjoy/suffer temperatures differently)
When you’re cold, you can always put more clothing on.
When you’re hot, you can only take so much clothing off.
i understand that, but personally, unles we are talking about >100F and >90% humidity, i don’t need more than a small fan and cool water to feel fine
technically there is an upper limit to how much clothing one can put on, even if that is the mass of the universe.
You’d collapse into a star well before that. And even before that, you’d be burnt up by molten sweaters. Though it’s not as bad as it sounds because you’d be crushed long before the heat got too much to stay solid.
Especially if you live in a hot, and HUMID environment. Sweat doesn’t cool you if it can’t evaporate due to high humidity. You just turn into a sweaty hot mess and overheat.
Humidity is a killer, hot or cold. -5 c can feel worst than -20 c
My argument is that summer is relatively terrible specifically in our current circumstances. For most of history, I would absolutely agree with you. But now we have all kinds of heaters and blankets and clothes designed with incredibly complicated materials to insulate us. There’s like 62 million ways keep warm, like 3 ways to keep cold (air conditionerand, touch cold thing, or take off clothes) then factor in global warming and obesity rates rising. It’s almost enough to forget that for most of history winter is when people starved and froze to death meanwhile summer was a time of wonderful abundance.
This is why I like summer. I like winter, but I wouldn’t mind summer lasting way longer.
