Don't you just HATE winter?

Just looked at the poll results and...

I notice there aren't many people here who actually GET snow

[Suikojin]

Winter here isn't very cold so I look forward to it! I mean in the summer it can get to 120 degrees! Ugh... Bring on cold winter nights any time!

[Kuraudo Sutoraifu]

I'm not a fan of the cold, so that kinda ruins winter for me.  But, winter in St. Louis is not guaranteed to be cold.  It could be anywhere from -10 degrees to 100 degrees in the span of a week.

This is sad...there will probably never know how much troble the snow really is. At my place this easly fall below -30c during holydays ugh...

[Vanya]

Vanya...how about we swap places?  
Tell me if im worng...

Tornadoes are extremely rare here.
I think we get more water spouts than tornado.
What we do have often is hurricanes.
Haven't had a nice hurricane in a while.
The moderate hurricanes are fun because they tend to knock out power for a few days. It's like camping!

[Samuraiblackbelt]

It's like camping!

I bet

My eyes are a bit light sensitive.  The less the sun glares down unobstructed, the better.  For me anyways.  I voted in favor of winter.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

but snow reflects sun back into your eyes whether it's cloudy or not

[Kaijyuu]

Minus the snow clearing it's pretty spiffy.

From taking mass transit while everyone (yourself included) is bundled up in giant coats, to dealing with snow after a snow storm because the authorities refuse to cancel classes for the day, and of course, being stuck doing mostly indoor activities...

Winter sucks in NYC.

The worst part is that it's not even consistent. Instead, it varies between
Oh, mid-40's F. Pretty nice for winter
cold enough for a heavy coat
near zero
near zero with below zero windchill[/b].

I know there's more extreme cold weather to the north ( for people in Buffalo, Rochester, and across the border), but it's so hot during the summer, I find it funny and annoying that the weather swings between two extremes like it does in temperate regions.

/cold weather rant

I do enjoy freshly fallen snow, and the occasional snowball fight though.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Sadly, I never experienced the snow.

There should be another option on that poll:
NEVER EXPERIENCED IT.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

the poles about winter, not snow

[Rythe]

Winter is actually my favorite season, closely followed by fall. I get hot easily, so cold weather doesn't bother me as badly as it does to other people where I live. Also, no bees is a huge plus since I have an extreme case of apiphobia (yup, fear of bees). Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates the little buggers. Snow is rare around here, so I don't have to deal with it. Plus, the skies are usually gray and block out the sun. I hate the sun. <_<

[RavenOfRazgriz]

I didn't see the option for "Absolutely fucking LOVE Winter!"

Nothing makes me feel more alive than blizzards. I'd rather curl up with my wife over a hot drink than watch a bunch of bikini-clad tarts roast their orange flesh on the beach, anytime. Even if there were thousands of them. Fuck that. Ra damns us with the sun.

I very much like how you think.

The beach scene is nice once in a blue moon, but its vastly overrated and most of the women aren't really worth the effort to go out of the way to look at anyway.

Winter makes many opportunities to get some good time in with the lil' missus, so I must greatly applaud it.

That and I'm from New England.  Apparently it was 33 degrees outside today and I thought it was like, 50-55.  So the cold isn't as big a deal to me as heat is.  :/

[Bastard Poetry]

The Oompa-Loompa look never made sense to me.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

I hat 90+ more than I hate (-30)-

My first winter here in Boston, we had a weekend in January that netted us 28 inches of snow. Granted that's an anomaly, but still...I loved it! And after five years, my cold tolerance is insanely high.

In general I love winter, especially the snow. Coming inside from the cold to warm up with soup, hot chocolate, and lovin' is vastly superior to coming home sticky from sweat and sitting motionless on the couch in an attempt to cool off. The biggest downside is shortened days - tonight's sunset in Boston is 4:33 PM. But waking up to a fresh coat of snow, or sitting inside watching a snowstorm, is just too much fun.

Then again, I don't drive.

I like winter, but that's will not happen in my country.
