    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.

    2025 has completely changed my outlook on the seasons, to be honest.

    It’s for the better too. In my quest to be the “retired tech worker turned farmer” while still having my engineering job, I spent a LOT of time outside this year doing construction and creating DIY equipment to care for my pets.

    With that, I have started my natural evolution into the old man that complains about losing daylight. And since I’ve lost weight I don’t like staying quite as cold as before.

    So winter has moved way down the list for me. I think Spring has too, because of the wet and the rain.

    I still don’t like it hot, and I love my beautiful outdoor scenery, so I think Autumn still takes the crown but I am looking forward to the long summer days next year more than ever. I have shit to do, I have plants that will need the sun, and I even have some reptiles that like getting the real thing too.

      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.

          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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

        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.
