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.
NO!
There a re people outside…
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
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!
you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot.
There are all kinds of active and passive cooling suits.
If you find an army-looking one, you can be truly tacticool.
They’re powered and still aren’t nearly as effective as a sweater, let alone a coat.
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.
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.

Love winter, its just so quiet and peaceful outside, just the sound of the wind and the bitterly fresh air
I’m in the ice cream biz, and people tell me all the time: “I CRAVE ice cream in the winter time!”
No you don’t.
If you’re referring to the winter layoffs in the ice cream industry, notice how it isn’t “the winter complete shutdown of the ice cream industry”. While aggregate demand for ice cream does go down, individual demand still varies and sales don’t drop to zero.
I know if I offered my daughter a freezie right now, she’d excitedly put down the video game she’s playing to have one, despite the fact I could just leave them on the balcony and they’d still be freezies.
I eat ice cream year round, the ambient temperature has literally nothing to do with it
I just had ice cream last night while watching snow fall. I’ll have some more now that there’s even more falling. Try to understand that people aren’t all the same and you’ll have a better idea how the world works.
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.
People who don’t like winter act like they are freezing to death the second it’s below 50F
My least favorite thing about winter isn’t the weather. It’s how little daylight we get.

I like the night. It’s definitely got a certain vibe that I quite enjoy. Daytime can be cool too, but it does suck having the sun getting in your eyes sometimes. Especially if you live somewhere in higher elevation where the sun is more bright. The only thing that sucks about night for me is that all the shops are closed super early nowadays ever since covid :/
It feels that way as someone who has lived in the Midwest my whole life. I’m only comfortable above 60 and can never get warm when I get that no matter how many layers I put on when I’m forced to go outside.
A sun nap in 90°F/32°C is the absolute best idk what you’re talking about
Presuming your summer stops at 32, sure. Less fun having 32 be the low overnight.
Found the scandinavian?
In other places, only tourists walk in the sun summertime.
“mad dogs and Englishmen”
But that’s about the midday sun in India - waaaay more than 32deg C
I would like to take a nap in the shade on a hot sunny summer day.
I really enjoy winter. It’s 7 out. Windchill in the negatives. I love some spicy air.
Excuse me sir in this household we use celsius
It is -14 and the human body recoils at the fact that that is 34 degrees below room temperature (Or 3.5 temperature steps)
Same. I don’t get cold when wearing the appropriate clothes. This might sound weird and maybe it’s just me, but even when I do get cold, the goosebumps and tingles I get almost feel euphoric in a way. I like it. Not to the level of freezing to death obviously. I want winter to last forever. Why does the earth have to be heating up instead of cooling down with climate change… :(
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 did this last night! I went on a short little walk while listening to music. I was thinking about how many people would judge me for it, but then I said to myself “who cares what they think I love winter”. I’m glad I am not alone! I just wear a heavy jacket and put on a pair of gloves. Didn’t feel cold at all. I was surprised.
However, subzero temps are still no joke. What I do in extreme temps is I put on all my heavy winter clothes and sit inside with it all on, as well as a heater going for a short period of time before I leave. When I start getting borderline hot is when I will start heading outside. I do this to be on the safe side, even though feeling hot in all those clothes inside sucks temporarily. It’ll help keep you even more warm out there and will keep your blood flowing to your extremities too. Your jacket will be less efficient if you don’t already have much warmth to trap under them to begin with, so be careful out there! It takes much longer to warm up even in the most biggest and best jacket if you only put it on after you were cold.

What’s wrong with enjoying winter from the comfort of indoors?
Tbh I love it outside too, at least when its snowy and not wet.If you judge by that logic, then you gotta be the type to have no favourite seasons at all.
I mean, according to your logic, if you say you like summer, then you gotta first go outside and get under the hot sun and if you don’t like being under the hot sun, then you don’t like summer. Same logic applies to other seasons too, huh? Man, your logic is ridiculous IMO
I like winter because I can control it, you can always get warmer, it’s harder to get colder in summer.
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.
Sorry I can only control the weather locally unfortunately.
Rats.
No no, the snow is good. Work already messaged me to say we’d be closed Monday. Don’t make them go back on their word.
