    Yeah as if.

    Winter means muddy and wet and windy now. Snow? Only for 2 days, then it’ll melt, making everything muddier.

    Yay climate change! It’s ruined winters.

      This is why I moved to a colder area. I know it won’t last, but I can enjoy it a bit longer.

      Shortly after I moved here, I was waiting my turn in a barber shop and chatting with a stranger and told them the same. Their response: "wow, most people don’t move to here for the weather.

      More people should appreciate cold.

    Winter is the time to wear layers and layers of your almost worn out and ugly clothes you bought but don’t want anyone to know.

    With a good jacket on top, you’re ready for anything the winter can throw at you.

    Come summer, throw out the most worn out ones and hide the ugly ones.

    Rinse and repeat next winter.

      Typing this at work with a long sleeve shirt with multiple holes but I have a quarter zip over it so I’m all good. 😉

      Proper cold winter with dry powdery snow is heaven on Earth.

      Too warm, wet winter with sleet and ice and no snow sucks donkey balls.

      I prefer winter too. See, in the summer, it’s too hot, and there’s only so many layers you can remove before you get the police called on you.

      But in the winter? No matter how cold, you can always just add extra layers!

        But then you enter a public building. The heat is cranked up to a thousand degrees. What are you gonna do, just always wear summer clothes underneath everything?

          I figure, even if I didn’t like the cold - and I do - for the most part, I’m probably only tolerating it from the car to whatever is the destination. That’s generally a pretty short walk - often a lot less than a minute - and I know most public buildings are, as you said, a thousand degrees.

          So during the winter I just wear long pants and short sleeves and endure whichever extreme wherever I must.

            Ah, and here we have our answer. The winter lover is in fact guilty of the sin of driving a car. Likely an internal combustion. They don’t have to actually live in and endure the winter; they simply zoom along our public roads at deadly speeds, safe and comfortable in their bourgeois death machine. For every degree Elohim lowers the temperature of the air, they simply belch out more blasphemous carbon, raped from the womb of the earth. And it is not their concern whether their sin attracts the ire of our Lord in the form of storms, droughts, floods, hurricanes, fires, no. The innocent will burn for this sinner’s personal comfort and convenience.

              I love the winter, yeah. I admit I don’t walk in the snow much (though I did so two days ago), but I like being in and near it. I mostly don’t walk in it because I have mild PTSD from breaking my ankle in some. I can’t really walk far at all, with or without snow.

              However, I moved across several states and hundreds of miles to experience more of it. The last few months I’ve been sleeping with the window open. Because I like the cold and I like hearing the snow fall.

              I primarily, though not entirely, drive an EV.

              Don’t know what to tell you. I get that this comment might be in jest, but I really dislike it. I think I’m more mad at you than I have been with anyone else on lemmy. I almost considered swearing at you but it’s probably not warranted.

              Uh … Hope you have a good day.

                I hope you have a good day too. I left that comment because for a long time I’ve been asking “what would Jesus do”, and I think he’d try to create a culture where judging car ownership is normalised. I’m glad you have an electric vehicle, and I hope it’s an electric bicycle, because even electric cars release carcinogenic particulate matter, which is a sin, and serve to tear apart communities by encouraging urban sprawl. I live in a country with good public transit, and I believe the difference between my country and yours is culture. If we can export our culture to your people, your people will change their cities and stop upsetting the Lord so much with all the carbon.

                  I can’t tell whether to believe you. What country is yours? Arabia?

                  I support things that support the climate, but if you’re really trying to do that, you’re not doing your cause a service. If you’re just trolling, I’ve never understood the purpose of that anyway.

      I like winter. There are parts I don’t enjoy like shoveling or cleaning my car off but things are quieter and cozier. Snow is beautiful, clothing has more pockets, you can breathe like a dragon, things are quieter.

    You’re missing the stage between denial and anger, which is annual sick week, because I refuse to put on a sweater and then I shiver in the park for an entire Saturday and catch a cold.
