I could not be more opposite. I mean its not like the pools or the beach are the ultimate things for me but man I hate the loss of sunlight in the winter. Drives me crazy to already be losing light at 8pm. I have such a hard time waking up in the winter.
Agreed, to a point… There’s cold and cold. Anything under 5F becomes extremely chilly the second it winds a little, IMHO. The upside with cold is you can usually put more layers if you’re still cold. With heat, at some point, you’re half naked and still sweating balls…
For me there are blocks of cold. Start to need the winter coat < 30F. Need to start adding more layers <15F. Its starting to get noticeably colder every few degrees <10F. Can't comment to much on colder than 0F as I've only experienced it a few times.
The longer days are enough to make me love summer! Then there's gardening, sweet corn, fresh strawberries, fresh blackberries, garden tomatoes, zucchini squash, mojitos with fresh mint from the patio, basil and walnut pesto, and grilling outdoors. There's probably a lot of other stuff that doesn't involve food or alcohol, but those are my favorites, off the top of my head.
Not a fan of the beach or swimming, but I like being outside, but its too hot and too humid. I sleep better in the winter too. Spring and Fall are great with 75 F highs.
Spring was cancelled this year in my part of the world. Sucks because I enjoy that time too, 75 is where it's at.. instead we snapped from blizzards almost immediately into high 80 degrees
Depends on where you are. A fair bit of coastal California has a Mediterranian climate -- dry, warm summers. Somewhere like Arizona will get too hot for me, but it won't be wet either. Coastal Alaska never manages to get all that warm.
