[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46459418]I fucking love winter. I hate the summer, I hate being sticky and sweaty, I hate having to mow the lawn, I hate general bullshit of summer. Winter is fucking awesome, it's so nice to be in your house, with your family, when it's like 30 below.[/QUOTE]
This yo. Up here in the northeast we generally have nearly half a year of winter, and summer gets chopped to two or three months between spring and autumn. I love it a bit.
[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;46455391]If it's too cold for you, you can add layers.
If it's too hot, you can only take off layers until you're naked.
Rather have a chilly day than a hot day.[/QUOTE]
Is it weird that I say the exact same thing to people that prefer summer?
[QUOTE=matt000024;46455611]Hot weather is usually discomfort, but cold weather is usually pure pain.[/QUOTE]
Cold will make you go numb and lull you into an icy grave, compared to the burning heat that leaves you screaming in agony until you die.
[QUOTE=Karishnikova;46457333]Dude if you hate winter maybe you shouldn't live in fucking Canada
Also 30c is fairly warm for summer. Cooler than it gets in Florida no doubt but that's not cold or cool, warm.
Still, I'd be more than happy to have the weather you're so upset about. This is the first time in like 4 years it's even gotten a little chilly in Florida[/QUOTE]
I was born here and it's not that easy to just get up and move when you're freezing your nuts off.
If I had a choice I would move somewhere warmer like florida or D.C.

So you're saying you hate going outside the house and having the warm sun beat down on your skin while you do your favorite things?
Mowing the lawn > shoveling snow and dealing with ice.

Depends on the snow. Mowing the lawn wins in the case of wet or frozen snow. If it's light puffy snow, I'd rather shovel that than mow the lawn.
[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;46456554]You crazy fucks can keep your cold.
Keep it out of Northwestern Washington State, and I am happy.
It's already too cold as it is, and it's averaging about 50*F. Last thing I want is for it to be even colder.[/QUOTE]
no way man, we need it colder
hell, maybe it'll get me to start jogging in the mornings again. nothing beats jogging in the freezing cold seeing your every breath while listening to hall & oates
There is nothing that makes me more mad than people telling me how much they love the warm weather meanwhile it feels like i'm in the desert setting myself on fire.Seeing this brings me nothing but tears of joy.
Cold > hot

Give me -30 over +30 any day
Yo, midwest and eastern states.. Mind if the Pacific Northwest can have some of that? ... :(
And California gets completely ignored according to that map. Why can't we have snow for once?

I'm sorry you live in a God damn utopia of amazing wather. Go to Tahoe for a few weeks.
I'd kill to go back to Cali for year-round sun.
Snow [I]and[/I] and a wind advisory is forcasted tomorrow and Wednesday. Winter came too early for Washington.
We're getting chances of snow in Arkansas. That's...not supposed to happen.

I don't know about you but personally I love it when my farts get trapped in something and released all at once after a few hours. It's like you've won the lottery and the prize is a cloud of mustard gas that instantly fills your room.

Having the sun beat the shit out of you while you do outdoor activities sucks. In the summer, the sun is an oppressive and hateful sonofabitch, in the winter it's a warm and benevolent lord of comfort.
Also, I'd much rather shovel a little bit of snow out of the driveway and walkway to the front door vs mowing the entire yard.
Things that are better in the winter:
Morning Coffee/Tea
Hot Chocolate
Fires
Talking a Walk
Going for a run
Biking
Hiking
Camping
(ice)fishing
hockey
Things that are better in the summer:
Mosquitos
Horse Flies
Gnats
Noseeums
Chiggers
Ticks

That's the BEST PART! You can fart when it's socially not acceptable, and release it when it's REALLY not socially acceptable and when it's most funny.....
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;46453389]Y'know, just in case any of you guys wanted to experience a miniature version of nuclear winter.[/QUOTE]
Except this is actually colder than a nuclear "winter"
Nuclear winter was an exaggeration/a myth produced by anti-nuke protesters to aid in the nuclear disarmament.
The global temperature after a nuclear war would only drop a single digit amount of degrees.
Uhh single digit changes in the global average temperature is enough to wreck shit up

brace yourselves, winter is coming.
See, I like the heat a lot better than the cold. I ride my motorcycle a lot, but in the winter it becomes a huge pain in the ass. Since my car is out of commission right now, I have been forced to ride everywhere. I nearly get frostbite every time I go on a 10 mile ride to somewhere. Also, my bike and car have zero issues starting in the summer. Once winter comes around? Gotta winterize everything. You don't have to really "summerize" cars. Fuck the cold.
