    Most definitely prefer winter. I moved from the south to the north US and I adore all of the snow, cold, and lack of sun. Don’t have to apply sunscreen and can go sledding. Summer in the north sucks cuz there’s not as much AC as there is down south.

    One thing I miss are the cicadas and frogs. There’s some up here, but they don’t get in a chorus nearly as much as back home. The summer storms I miss a lot too. Apparently the closer you get to the equator, the more thunderstorms happen. I do not miss the temps getting into the 100Fs WITH 100% humidity.

    I do not. Seasonal depression beats me up and makes me exhausted. I love being in the sun

    No, even here I like summer better than winter. Love the long days, the afternoon storms, it’s too hot but that still feels better to me than cold. Plus the snowbirds go back to their summer homes up north so traffic gets easier.

    Winter is nice for gardening though, can grow more things here in the winter.

        West Central Florida, the growing zone 10. Those daily thunderstorms in the summer are so beautiful. When I was a kid they were like clockwork, then they failed and there was a drought, but they seem to be back for now. Even the flooding in the parks, the “seasonal wetlands” as my ex used to call them, it is so beautiful, wading birds and frog noises. Love summer.

    It really depends on where I am. Winter in a city sucks. Winter in the mountains is awesome. Summer in Phoenix sucks. Summer on the Albanian Riviera is awesome.

    I find I complain less about cold weather than I do about hot weather… But I still like having the different seasons.

    I prefer winter in general, although spring can be nice.

    I find 10 degrees Celsius to be about perfect.

    The problem with the hotter seasons is that the clouds are fading as well, so it’s not only hot but also all the sunshine on top of that.

    In the winter it’s pretty nice when the clouds are gone. It’s still cold then.

    I like sunshine for the light, not the heat.

    Winter is the best! No need for air conditioning and the fact that we get to use sweaters and blankets all season. Plus the hot drinks are nice and warm you up.

    I used to when I was in middle school. But now I get all my happiness from my bike. So when I can’t ride it life is crud. Winter can still be fun tho. Snowboarding is cool

    I loved winter when it was actually snowing. Now I prefer spring I think.

      Man, thinking about that makes me so depressed. Growing up we’d have the snow cover lasting for months on end during the winter, commonly several feet of snow too. These days we’re lucky if the snow remains for a week before it thaws even at the height of December.

        It is amazing how circumstances will mould the things we want. Our yard has been covered by 5 feet of snow since December. All I want is to see some green…

        Here in Poland, we have significantly less snow than we used to, but I just enjoy the atmosphere of winter. I totally understand you.

    I’m from India and where I live, summer gets unbearably hot. In my opinion there is nothing in summer to look forward to except mangoes. Winter is wayy better. In my place, it doesn’t even get cold except in the early mornings. Once it’s a proper day, you wouldn’t even know it’s winter. It’s just a less hot summer.
