Do you dislike winter?

[Pasi Nurminen]

It started snowing today, which is abnormal for this place, and it really made me realize how much I hate cold weather. I mean really hate, with a vengeance. If cold weather were a terrorist, I would be it's John McClane.

Do you dislike winter as well? Poll coming.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

I am with you. Winter not only means cold weather here but also a constant fog layer half a kilometer above ground. There were winters you didn´t see the sun for a couple of months. I found that thermal baths and saunas can act against the bad weather caused mood. Looking forward to spring already. Still 4 months to go, though

I love winter. There's hardly anything more satisfying than walking through a nearly desert centre of Nijmegen, while it is freezing cold and you can see the snow which will fall later on.

Winter rules, since there would be nothing special in summer without winter (nor without spring nor autumn).

Yes I dislike winter. A lot. Due to a weakened immunity system plus an inborn defect in my throat I have a virtually chronical laryngytis during the cold months. I am also in an age where reumatism starts to make its appearance (yes, yes, I know. I am a weakling ).
Norway is in most ways a great country to live in. But climate-wise it is only a second tier on my ranking...

I hate cold weather. It's below 70F here now at night and that is way to cold for me. I only like snow on a ski slope, which is actually one of my favorite events to do. Weird for someone who hates the cold so much. I like it hot. When everyone else thinks its too hot to go outside at all, that is when I go for a run. 100 degree club is the only club!

I have no Problem with winter, because it is a time that is cool. You must remeber the climate that I live in and for some of you, my winter wold be like some regions summer. Maybe more like Spring weather rather than actualy being wintry as being freezing cold.

 

[Paalikles]

Both

I like the witeness, and the cold, and the "chestnuts roasting on an open fire"
I like the wite snow, so my perception of snow is reduced as culture makes nature less white

I dislike the snow up to my ancles because someone has not cleared the sidewalk for snow.
I dislike driving in wintertime because even with very good tires, there are always people out there who are less careful, bound to crash into you because the ground is slippery
I dislike the potential yo-yo temperature, which makes ice under snow a serious threat to my health

But your mind is strong!

I learned to hate winter during a military exercise out in the Norwegian woods. Temperature below -30 C every day for a week.

 

[Scuffer]

The only bad thing is having to spend more on heating. Everything else is good. Especially the low humidity. I hate humidity.

 

[Zelig]

Winter means there's snow, which allows alpine skiing/snowboarding, two of the best activities ever envisioned by man.

 

[Reno]

Winter is the best season there is. One of the (Many) reasons that i love to live in Finland so much is because of the Winter we have here. And to think some people hate that wonderful season...

 

[IglooDame]

Winter is nice. Driving can be much more exciting and challenging, and let's not discount snowball fights.

 

[Gabryel Karolin]

Cant really vote on this one. Winters great, really, but just as long as youre not forced be outdoors unless you feel like it .

Right now I dislike winter... first snow has fallen and I got to be at the University in 15 minutes .

 

[feline_dacat]

I like winter clothes and accessories....scarves, gloves, boots, coats, sweaters etc... and winter food (soup, roasts, etc...) but i dislike the weather! It gets so dry and stuffy inside cos of the heating systems, and outside its too cold >_<

Actually that's the downside to winter, IMHO - women wearing too much clothing.

 

[Totibbs]

I like winter only when snow comes down and you can skate on the ice.
Not that stupid - very cold but no snow or ice - winter.

Because I live in the Netherlands, snow and ice is special. And even if there is a traffic jam of 500 kilometres because of the snow, it is possible that Ivnt seen any of it ;(

 

[Ivan the Kulak]

Mmmm, not particularly. I had to shovel 4 inches of snow off the driveway the other day, and there is worse to come... right now the sidewalks are slick with ice, and it's still dark out at 7AM - no, I prefer summer.

 

[Ansar]

Winter is better than summer. IMHO.

 

[Perfection]

All seasons are awesome

You can do many fun things with snow!
