Fuck the Winter!
I don’t mind melting skin and vampiric, malaria bringing insects as long as I can enjoy long summer evenings, cool drinks, the summerwind rustling in trees while laying in their shadows, eating icecream and going for a swim.
All this is monumentally better than the long darkness, scraping ice from your cars windscreen at 06:00 am and seeing nothing but bare trees for months.
Winter is fine for a month or so, then it should be time again for spring.
Hard disagree. In winter we have cozy warm clothing, crisp dry air to breathe, beautiful blankets of snow, houses lit up with decorative lights at night, and most importantly significantly less bugs! I love hiking and backpacking in winter. I would much rather sleep outside when it's 0 C/32 F than when it's 24 C/75 F+ at night. Once it starts getting warm here the humidity creeps up and you're just sticky for months. Sitting outside on my porch on winter mornings bundled up in my coat and scarf having my morning coffee is one of my favorite things. If I do this in summer I'm eaten by mosquitoes within minutes.
I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live, but here summer is hot, humid, full of mosquitoes and ticks, and just generally all around miserable. Late June through early September is the worst part of the year and it's not even close for me.
Yeah, agreed. And there’s nothing worse then humid and hot. I still prefer a normal continental summer to a normal continental winter though.
