Also hot chocolate tastes 10x+ better when you’ve been out in the cold.

The trick is you have to be out there for at least 20 minutes to acclimate. Otherwise it just hurts a little and then you get hot when you go back inside.

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

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago

I still get panicked about summer, or even the thought of tolerating that hell of a season. Mainly it's because it has been a pain in the ASS to keep my house comfortably cold or to even have and maintain an air conditioner. It's expensive, and if the heat gets over a certain threshold, swamp coolers and air conditioners become ineffective at a certain point. It's legitimately scary. I don't want to boil alive or die of heat stroke. One power outage in the summertime could mean you're completely fucked. I wish more people treated summer and climate change as more of a threat to life.

Shitty take. It's like: People be like: I love summer and then stay inside in the A/C.

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Or in a pool. Smh

Gatekeeping people's enjoyment is shitty behavior.

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

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 12 points 1 week ago

As I like to say, "you can always put more clothes on. You can only take so much off before the cops show up."

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I like winter because I can control it

Can you make it stop for a bit, like maybe the next 24 hours? We need rain much more than we need snow and ice.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry I can only control the weather locally unfortunately.

At least winter is comfortable inside. Summers get so warm now that there’s often no escape from the heat. Where I live AC used to be completely unnecessary so rental apartments with AC basically don’t exist.

And as someone with a delayed circadian rhythm I also hate daylight saving time. I don’t want to get up an hour earlier every day. Why do morning people get to force their lifestyle on us?

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

People who don't like winter act like they are freezing to death the second it's below 50F

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My least favorite thing about winter isn't the weather. It's how little daylight we get.

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.

People be like, "I love pizza," after having a couple of slices for dinner. No. Eat 10 pizzas. Let's see.

[–] gerowen@piefed.social 24 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

Love winter, its just so quiet and peaceful outside, just the sound of the wind and the bitterly fresh air

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I just got frostbite in my ears yesterday because I was having an absolute blast in -24c weather lol. Once they heal (or fall off idk we'll see, but doctor says they'll probably heal) I'm going to be right back out there again with better headgear. I love the cold, the dark, give me more winter

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 imagine having an excuse to never go outside is part of the appeal.

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago

I mean the feeling of coziness and warmth inside is a huge part of why winter is so great! I do also actively go hiking, snow-shoeing, skiing, etc in winter and love that too, but that just adds to the beautiful contrast between crisp, fresh winter air and warm cozy indoors.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] sparkles@piefed.zip 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I really enjoy winter. It’s 7 out. Windchill in the negatives. I love some spicy air.

❌ hot girl summer

✅ cold bitch winter

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I just got home from being outside for hockey in 1 degree F weather and I LOVED it. I’m happy outside to about -9. I get so invigorated.

[–] mech@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

"Liking winter" does not mean "liking the cold".
It's also winter inside your living room.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

My dad and I have always said "it's been cold enough that I've wished for summer, but never hot enough I wished for winter".

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

If it goes above 20 C for more than a week or so I definitely start wishing for winter. I'm not built for that shit

I fucking love me a proper snowy winter. Ideally the temperature should drop below -20 at least a couple times, for that crispy cold-bite feeling. Cross-country skiing, ice skating, winter hiking, or just doing a winter BBQ in the snow, sign me up

[–] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok. But i just did a 16km walk in negative temp 2 weeks ago for no reason other than to go on a walk. I am a true winter enjoyer. The cold and snow is nice.

I just got in from shoveling round one.

I'm thankful that it's cold when it snows, I love sledding with the kids.

But now that there was snow and snowmen and snowball fights, can it please be fucking summer now?

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago

This person doesn't know about winter sports, cross-country skiing, all fun winter activities
