Summer Vs. Winter

[CommanderMadi]

Which one do you like more? Summer or Winter? It would be nice if you stated reasons after choosing from the poll

I adore Winter because Summer is just unbearably hot in Egypt.

Winter winter winter. In the summer, you can't turn off the heat or cool down as easily as you could in the winter. Winter here, while cold, is still manageable because you can put layers on and then cozy up at home in a nice fluffy blanket. Besides, winter, depending on where you are, can be absolutely stunningly gorgeous with snowy scenes. I cannot wait for winter!

Without a doubt, summer is the best. Winter wreaks havoc on my depression. Sunlight deprivation, cabin fever, and, of course, how fucking painful the cold is on my busted up bod. This past winter that was SO cold and SO long was sheer misery for me. I had days in a row where I couldn't drag myself out of bed for any reason. I've never liked winter, but since I've been dealing with this evil depression shit, it's SO much worse.

I'm going to buy a sun lamp for this winter. I have a step-sister who also has depression and swears by her lamp. 20 minutes a day sitting under her sun lamp helped her tremendously. So if I can get that kinda help for under $200, I'm all over it!!

That differs from a country to another. Winter in Egypt is very nice. For us it is so cold but in a nice way like 14-15c and it can be as high as 22-23 at morning. We rarely see snow and occasionally we have rain. Summer is only good in Egypt when we go to coastal cities, the weather there, the beach sight, the gathering of people are superb.

That is exactly what I mean. It differs. And as Dee said, I can wear lots of heavy clothes that protect me from over coldness but I can't go naked in streets in summer because its hot. I am stuck in my shirt and pants/shorts at minimum when in summer.

Winter starts by last of October here, I'm waiting it impatiently.

Summer, or should I better say dry season over here. Rainy season is so-so, but cold season in November-December is really worst IMO.

I would probably choose winter. Yes the snow sucks when you have to shovel and drive in it, but I love the mood of winter. Things are calmer and there is a sense of quiet. The day is not as long, there are more holidays, and there is no unbearable heat. The summer heat just absolutely drains me. Plus, I don't have to deal with pesky insects and other critters in my house.

Winter all the way. I cannot stand hot weather at all. The really hot days make me feel so lethargic and I hardly want to move. Plus snowy scenery can be incredibly beautiful.

im in favor of winter. The way the weather is now, is becoming unbearable. I long for snow. Alas, i live in calif. I dont know if its hecause of the effects of the volcano in iceland, or some unknown phenomenom..seems like its getting hotter towards the fall

My dad lives in Yucaipa and I was there three weeks ago visiting him. He said it was 95F there today and I believe it. That place is miserably arid. xD

well today our temp was 101. so i win lol

That's terrible! I remember being in Palm Springs one time and it was something like 115-120 and it only dropped down to 95F at 11:00 p.m. Didn't get any better either. xD

 

[Dee]

wonder what it feels like going outside when temp is 120. 3 years ago, while vacationing in vegas, the temp there on the strip reached 111° nearly fainted of heat stroke

It sucked ass and I stupidly stayed in the car as I was pissed off at my brothers at the time. I'm pretty sure I nearly passed out.

I absolutely hate the Winter. With Winter comes huge expenses for me. There's the firewood I have to buy, the heating oil and snow plowing/roof cleaning. My town is not very prompt in plowing and sanding the roads so they can be very treacherous. Also once I get a chill, it takes me forever to get warm again. I'll take the Summer heat over the freezing cold any day.

We use the Fahrenheit system; I'm not sure what 14-15c is in Fahrenheit would be. I'll have to look that up.

15°C = 59°F. Latin American countries use Celsius system all the time though.

Winter! I live in blistering hot California and the winter never gets tooooo cold (it can get cold though).

 

[CommanderMadi]

F is equal to c+33 I guess. Last i remember from an old physics class.

Anyway, it seems like the winter lovers are more here.
