Is Summer or Winter good where you live?

[PROJECT: Simon 3,953]

In southeast Texas, they are both miserable. The wind chill in winter is AWFUL! The summers have heat indexes that usually max  out at 115 degrees...

I can't even imagine that happening xD T^T

[SET318MLP 55]

I hate winter in the area I live. We had our record low temperature of -30 (Fahrenheit) or something close to that. I live in the Chicago suburbs if you're interested.

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

The winters in the United States Midwest are a hit and miss. Both Summer and Winter are extreme. We can get into the 90's and 100's with very high humidity in the summer, and 40's below with 60 below wind chill in the winter. It can be either wet or dry in both seasons. Climate change has made extremes commonplace in the past decade. There's actually a distinct difference between the weather I grew up and the weather since 2002 (which I dubbed the "year with no snow", because it was so abnormal to me at age 11).   These past 3 years have especially strange, with this past summer being utterly perfect (I think only 5 or 6 days in the upper 80/90's).... but the winter before last, I experianced some of the coldest weather in my life (60 below).  Fall and Spring are fairly wet and also extreme (we are just getting out of a short heat wave in the mid/upper 80's and are heading for lower 60s now for the highs). I actually like it here though, we have plentiful water, and lush green forests....I wouldn't want to live in tundra, or desert, or rainforest. The differences give me variety to my enviornment, and even though winter is dangerous to drive in, intelligence and planning will bring me more safety than anything else. I like to adapt to changing weather...but then again, I am one to find the time to "smell the roses" as it is said, and because of that, I can appreciate the climate I live in a great deal more than most everyone around me.

You can't change the weather, only adapt to it, so why complain?

I live in Croatia. So summer is way better for me than winter.

[Guest]

Here in singapore it's hot and sunny as shit all year long

[Invincible 2,090]

Neither is good. The summer is harsh, and so is the winter. I'm particularly fond of rain and blizzards, so I don't mind the latter, though.

[cmarston1 5,951]

While I prefer the summer and don't really like winter at all I wouldn't say the weather is terrible.

That is if it isn't a really hot summer or a really cold winter.

But usually it isn't either of those.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

Nope. They both completely suck. Winters are just terrible in North Dakota. Temperature gets below -20 outside (wind chill can get it close to -60). Snow is brittle and powdery, so there's no fun to be had outside. Then, the snow compacts up to 3 feet, at least, freezes, and stays that way until late Spring.

 

The roads are always icy, and school is never cancelled (not even in blizzards). Then Summer is too hot too soon. It gets to be up to 80 degrees, and makes you want to just keel over and die.

 

By the time you get acquainted to the heat, the snow's already falling and the next Winter is even more miserable than the last.

[Meeh 48]

Summers are way too hot and Winters never have snow.

[Not_active 731]

Both are usually crap. Summer is filled with rain, and winter is too damn cold and dark.

[Varrack 1,080]

It gets to be up to 80 degrees, and makes you want to just keel over and die.

80 degrees is hardly anything. Just subtract eight degrees and you get room temperature. I'd say you have rather mild summers.

[GeekySonic 1,150]

I suppose not, but it sure feels bad after Winter.

[n0body555 334]

Winter.

 

Summer is absolute hell in Houston.

[SCS 7,443]

One of the things I love about where I live is how every season is very distinct and absolutely wonderful. Summer brings hot days, and hot nights, and it's so much fun to be outside. I remember this summer I was just chilling the fuck out walking around my city at like midnight, and I ended up on a hill I used to sled on when I was a kid. I just laid there and looked at the stars. It was amazing how warm it was even though the sun had been down for hours. 

 

Spring and autumn always see a pleasant balance of temperatures, and winters are cold but delightful. 

 

However, due to my geographical location there's plenty of variety year-round. Some days feel very different from the season we're in. Just goes to show how our understanding of life is often only a really distant approximation.

[Rainbowdash_82 404]

Both are ok in my opinion..

 

Summer here in LA is rather painful because it tends to get really hot! I swear that if you put a toy car on a hot summer day it melts in 15-20 minutes! And also if you run on the hot summer heat, you feel that you are about to die or something (trust me, I ran in the super hot summer heat in August [93 degrees Fahrenheit])

But hey, its in a desert region so yea that is the type of summers you are gonna expect if you come here!

 

But right now things are different, its raining right now (rain is my type of weather)

Well I'm in the UK south-west, which bascially means you have no idea what any season is going to be like. I'm a cold weather person though and I don't mind the rain that much, so probably winter. Though being so far north on the globe, winter daylight hours are really short.

Summer is hot as fuck here and I feel lethargic during it while winter is somewhat cold and miserable (I hate cloudy days) 

[Moony the Cat 3,695]

I cant really say, that the weather here is better than somewhere else, because i barely left my country 

 

But i like winter here. I mean, yeah its cold, but its better than to hot. Because i hate sweating .

[NOX33 184]

Too bad there's no winter here but if so I would guess summer is better. Cause im used to the heat.

[zombienixon 330]

Summers can get a little hot, but I'm used to it, and I don't mind the heat so much. I just prefer summer in general, and I hate being cold. Granted we don't get a real winter like people farther north, but that doesn't mean it doesn't get cold down here.  We only get a little bit of snow once or twice a year, but whenever we do it sucks.  Any more than two snowflakes on the ground, and the whole South goes into panic mode. Everything closes down, people crash because they don't know how to drive in snow, and for some reason they hoard milk, bread, and apparently Pop-Tarts like it's genetically hard-wired into them.

[Omega Centauri 316]

I live in Kentucky, just in the right spot where I get the worst of both seasons.

 

A summer day can get to over 100 degrees Farenheit, and droughts can last for months.

 

A winter day can get to well below zero, and a week-long ice storm is not unheard of.

[Tao 6,707]

Summer has a good points but we had a few good weeks of pure hell and winter is ok but snow is also ok just around Feb we get the chill of  hell.

[Redacted321 105]

Both are horrid by the time you get to the end of summer you like the heat then BAM winter hits like a truck and at the end of winter you don't mind the cold then it's summer before you know it you'll barley noticed spring or autumn . It's summer now and it's only going to get worse as it gets closer to Christmas... that's Australia for ya

[TheRockARooster 47,244]

Here in Australia, sometimes it can get unbelievably hot in Summer and ridiculously cold in Winter.

But some day are just right and not too over the top.

[DubWolf 16,587]

Summer is hell. Winter is cold and feels ok when wearing the right stuff (enough stuff), but nothing interesting happens, usually..... so it's boring.
