Not to mention they're the two most nostalgic seasons, by a landslide. At least in regions that experience four seasons. There is nothing quite like the quiet promise of Spring after a long winter. One day you step out and warm sunshine is making your roof drip, and grass begins to show through the thinning snow. Familiar birds return and you spot the year's first vegetation poking up through the soil. You can smell the Earth again. You're flooded with memories of being a kid during the same months, lying out in the yard feeling that warm breeze blowing in.

Summer creeps up and slowly wears you the fuck out. Most of the flowers dry up and the grass gets scorched. Everything looks like shit, and right when you get tired of it all and want to throw yourself off a bridge, you notice the leaves turning yellow at an alarming rate. Nights grow cold, mushrooms pop up, and you remember how pleasant brittle leaves sound rattling along the street. Things get real damp and take on that nutty smell of decay. Some primal part of you gets real amped up for the harvest.

Halloween night brings with it the last echo of life, then the world grows quiet and dead. The frosts come and snow falls. Christmas is real cozy, and then a month later you're eyeballing that bridge again. Doesn't seem so high. Might be nice to throw yourself off it every now and again. Maybe this is will be the year..

Then one particularly warm afternoon you hear the trill of a robin.

Autumn is better than spring.

Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn't warmed up enough, so it's always cold and damp.

In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you're good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.

I love winter when it's a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.

When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year

But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that's when winter sucks.

A dry -1f is warmer than a moist 20F

In stereotypical winter you can't add enough layers since if you do add layers so your face doesn't hurt you get accosted by the police because going to public places in a balaclava hasn't been legal since the late 50s.

In winter as it actually happens you need fewer layers but they need to be waterproof because winter means rain at +2 °C.

Summer because I can wear short shorts and long tops.

I can’t wait until my wife and I reach the: it’s time for a hot tub age. We’re not quite there yet, but winter offers us a lot of cold for the joy when it arrives.

85 is not bad at all unless you have to work in the sun.

I am on a special interest forum, been a member for a long time and it's got people around the world. A lady in Sweden said she was absolutely dying from the heat, could not sleep, because it was 23 degrees. Our AC is set to 78F most of the time and I am cool at that temp, but she would melt?

It really has to be what you grew up with. A real winter would kill me, I don't know how people deal with it. Putting on clothes, taking off clothes, never really being warm, short daylight, hot food immediately getting cold because the cold air steals its heat, car won't start but standing at bus stop so freezing then the bus uncomfortable because you are bundled up, WTF Winter People? What is it you like, or do you just like winter like we have here, the Swedish summer weather?

Seems like there's some correlation with your average Florida Man and many of them seem to belong in an institution too.

Excuse me but I can only put so many clothes on. and scientifically, one more jumper doesn't equal one more warm.

you fuckin' got me there

just means you have to wait less until the time is right to be gay do crime

Which I'm also actually kinda fond of

Walk around in a hot day -1hp -1hp -1hp

Enter car during a hot day -2hp -2hp -2hp

ackshually cold air increases HP because it's denser, allowing for more combustion, didn't YoU kNoW

yeah, and made the summer even hotter

Rain here is a summer thing and that is wonderful, cools everything off, beautiful lightning and rainbows.

Rain in the winter is nonsense. It is so cold and you get wet and even more cold. Although - winter rain is not windy or sideways like summer storms so an umbrella does avail. But yes. Cold rain sucks.

Nah, summer is super depressing. All I have the energy for is to lie under a fan and slowly melt into a puddle of listless, sweaty sadness and long for death. In the winter, I've actually got the energy to get up and get shit done, build a snowman, frolic. Less sun is less headache too, so bonus points for it being dark all the time.

It's only hard to feel depressed because the sweltering heat makes thinking harder.
