Pros of winter: you get to see snow, maybe
Cons of winter: literally every conceivable aspect of it. Being cold is the worst sensation. And no, clothing doesn’t magically fix it.
The opposite for me. Having an AC doesn’t magically make me feel coler in the summer. I still have to go outside to pick up groceries or something and sweat like a pig.
Oh, not to mention sweaty thighs and skin rashes, trouble walking…

But the AC literally makes it cooler. If you don’t feel cooler when it is actually cooler, something is wrong with your perception.
I don’t really drink, but I definitely go beer shopping in summer. I don’t know how common they are but around the US, you can find places with Beer Caves. A huge walk-in fridge with cases of beer. It’s heaven.
Also, people never mention how expensive all that special clothing is. No, thanks, I’d rather not spend hundreds of dollars just to be able to step outside. Plus special equipment for the snow, etc. It’s too much.
lol have you tried not buying designer clothing? i literally just wear a department store wool base layer, a fluffy jacket, and a cloak made by cutting a recangle of some random fabric i bought at a crafts store, and it’s great.
if you can accept looking a bit medieval then it only has to cost like 50 bucks for the whole getup.
Not having to tear my own skin and the AC running at -20C in order to feel comfortable.
I love the winter, thank you very much ☺️.
The best part about winter, is that it’s nice inside. In summer, it can get to a point where it isn’t even nice inside anymore.
But also all the downsides of winter outside can be mitigated and navigated. The downsides of summer outside can’t be.
There are humans that hang out outside at -70C all day. For all you F users, that is -94F. The coldest winter ever gets where I am is -40C(also -40F for F people), it’s usually only about -20C(-4F) on an average cold day in winter.
If you are too cold in winter, you aren’t dressed right. There are options available that you haven’t taken.
You can always add more layers of clothing, you can only take off so much before you get arrested.
Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær.
That’s a popular saying among Scandinavians on the theme. Translated: There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.
But what about the darkness? How do you mitigate the fact that it’s pitch black so early in the day?
I actually love winter because it’s cold. A lot of my ancestry comes from the UK, specifically around London and various parts of wales so genetically I naturally thrive in it.
I often find myself very hot and am very happy when my room is around 62-68f (17c to 20). Family members (especially from my Chinese and Japanese side) are always very surprised at how warm my fingers, ears and nose are even when it gets really cold and how quickly I warm up after returning inside.
Where do you live that you have such long days with apparently such a cold weather? In my area we have cuddly 0°C/32°F with the sunset happening at 16:15. I would categorise so cold that it hurts around -20°C depending on the weather.
