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.
The only rational take here
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.
I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.
Let me tell you about these magical lands called "equatorial mountain" climates.
See, you go to a place that's hot year round, then go 1-2km directly upwards, and you get 365 days of spring weather, only variation being how much precipitation you get.
Bogota, Medellin, Da Lat, Kunming, all amazing weather year round. They also tend to have tons of edible mushrooms.
spoiler
There is a really jarring sensation when you go from wet, cold, and cloudy to hot, dry, and sunny by taking a 5 minute bike ride down into a valley, like you just rode into another world.
Do you have a list of such more cities?
No, sorry. There's listicle articles you can google, or if there's an equatorial region with mountains, any city or town above a certain altitude is going to have little variation. Weatherspark.com can help investigate.
I know about mountain climates. However, I grew up close to an ocean coast, I love the salty smell of the sea, mountains are nice for a vacation but bearing down in the long run. Also Kunming is in China (fuck the CCP) and due to me being pretty much not able to work I am still best where I am (for now at least. Too many rich asses working on dismantling welfare here).
We are discussing the weather. Be normal.
No
Expressing disdain towards autocratic regimes in a short side note is perfectly normal.
True, fuck the USSA, Shitrael and Germany
Aw c'mon, no pet name for Germany?
it already has "man" in it ;)
No, no its not. Its extremely weird and offputting to immediately declare how much you hate 1 particular government, especially in the context of someone telling you a positive thing about various places they've been to. Maybe touch grass.
It was a side note giving a reason why the example you gave is not an option for me. Had you brought up a place in Russia, Saudi Arabia or the USA I'd have made a similar comment.
Plus again it is just a side note. You are the one who wants to focus on that topic now. You could have continued conversing on amy other part of my response.
My condolences, that sucks!
And yes spring and autumn both are awesome. Nothing better than a clear, crisp autumn day.
I honestly think I probably eat more ice cream in winter…
Nothing wrong there. Being an adult should have at least some perks, eating ice cream whenever you want is one of them.
Winter and snow are fine from a few weeks before Christmas up through New Year's. After that I'm ready to get back to summer.
Where I live (mid-Atlantic US region), snow accumulation is rare before December. I've had maybe one "white Christmas" in my life - lots of rainy ones, though.
January is when the snow starts to really hit, with February having peak winter storms. Before that, it's just like autumn, except without the colorful leaves.
