Summer or Winter?

The hottest temperature in my town this years summer was in January it got to 43 deg Celsius which is 109 deg Fahrenheit..

So i can assure you that you do not want to experience a day like that.. Actually you become an indoor / air conditioning refugee on days like that.. If you go outside and do any type of physical work you are risking death..

When it is cold a person can dress up with good warm cloths and go out and do stuff.. But when it gets hot it is harder to Keep oneself cool..

Yeah it is nice when things are warm,, like when it is 27 - 33 degrees Celsius, but once it starts to get past 34 and it is humid then life becomes really uncomfortable let me assure you..

Actually, it is a myth you can dress warm for the cold. Winters in much of Canada, any exposed skin will freeze. I used to go to school when I was -40 C/F and I had to have nothing but my eyes showing. It is easy to get frost bite on the fingers and toes, and lose them. I always wore two pairs of wool socks, Ugg boots, 2 pairs of gloves - one thermal mitts, the other warm, thin gloves, so you can use your keys, without bare hands. (Of course Keyless entry now does away with this problem.)

And when you have lived like that for a month or 2, plus low light levels, it is enough to drive you to distraction. We get lots of days where I am now in the 40s C. I love it! Of course, I don’t do manual labour, but I do come alive when it is hot!

Winter.

a little of both = sumter...

Having lived in Michigan for 28 years and now having been in Florida for 25 years I can say that I prefer summer over winter. I also did 8 years in Maine so I understand cold full well and really don't care for it at all.

I am getting higher in numbers and becoming more sensitive to the cold. Of course, I am fully acclimated to the high temps in Florida. I do love the change of seasons but the winters up north last much longer than 3 months.

We are going to relocate to Tennessee within a couple years so while there will be change of seasons the winters are of short duration. I lived there for 3 years in Clarksville which is on the border of Kentucky and my wife has lived there too for a few years outside of Nashville. She has her heart set on Gatlinburg which is in the SE corner of the state. I can readily handle a Tennessee winter but really nothing further north than that.

Of course, we want to see Alaska one day but that will be in a summer month if there is such a thing.

The A/C just kicked in but I can handle that type of cold because, baby, it's hot outside.

Can we all agree to speak American and use the Kings English which is FAHRENHEIT!?


We get all 4 seasons which I like, but unlike most other people who get old, I like summer less and less. So pencil me in for winter.

I was watching a show where a mob guy chose a cold region over a worm one like the Bahamas. At first I thought I would choose worm, then I realized I LOVE "fat" cloths like sweaters, thick coats, layers... Anything but showing my real size...lol.. So as much as I hate the cold, if I had to relocate, because I was a mob guy and people wanted to kill me, I think I would choose the cold...

Would you want summer or winter if you had to relocate?

Summer.

These days, winter scares me for some reason, and I almost don't know why. It's an unnerving feeling that I can't quite put my finger on.
Oh well.

Do you live in snow country? I have always loved winter..in the past. Now that I am a mature adult, I kind of dislike any extremes, but that is me.

May your winter be good to you, a blessing with God' ever Presence to comfort you. All Love in Jesus, Yeshua...

Winter used to be good to me, but there was a point where I felt the world change somehow and when that happened, winter was no longer the same. It's difficult to articulate. Winter just feels wrong. It feels "off". It's a lot like walking into a very big room that is supposed to have an echo, but for some reason, there is none. Does that make sense?

Ultimately, I prefer spring -- my favorite month is May -- but the choices are either winter or summer. 🤷‍♀️

I was gone for just over a couple of months (closer to three) and missed seeing you around when I came back about a week ago. I am glad to see you are still here! As to the OP, I do not care for excessive heat, and as Blaine said, it is easier to warm up when it is cold than it is to cool off when it is too hot. My fans are still going and it was about 16 degrees Celsius on my way home tonight (Note to Ed: when I speak Fahrenheit, my daughter has no idea what I am talking about! ). My preference is room temperature
