Baby It's Cold Outside - what do you like about winter?

[scooterbug44]

I like it when it's cold because I get to wear all of my snuggly clothes (god bless the inventors of fleece) and eat all the yummy cold weather food (and then the snuggly clothes hide it all).

Add not sweating through my clothes and makeup w/in a minute of walking out the door or while drying my hair, a lack of tourons, no humidity, no sand in the sheets, and a total lack of guilt about staying inside/indoors.

Though this cold weather makes me REALLY want a fireplace ........... and better insulation.

And I cannot HELP but be really excited about the idea of snow in FLORIDA!!!!

Same as BR, I have the opposite problem, mine loves the cold weather and wants to go out every half hour.

Its so cold I don't want to open the door. Right now its a frigid 19 degrees.

I hear ya. 23 here. At least I'm not a koi in our koi pond.

I will not sugar coat this in any way! I do not like winter at all. I like nothing about it, do you hear me? Nothing. I hate cold. I hate it. Supposed to snow here Thursday and the low on Saturday is 8 freaking degrees. I have to pray for strength to get through these winter months. I wish I was a bear and could hibernate. What I am is a grumpy, old fart that just wants Spring to get here PRONTO.

Need I say more?

But then I always feel like Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail"

On the other hand, I must warn you that when you finally have the pleasure of saying the thing you mean to say at the moment you mean to say it, remorse inevitably follows.

I've decided the problem with southern winter is that you get all of the bad (cold, heating bills, chapping, frozen pipes, ice, dead plants and brown trees, dry skin, cold toes) w/o any of the funn (sledding, snowmen, snowball fights, ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, hot tubs, ice fishing, sleigh rides, roaring fireplaces) - you need a balance.

I like the silence of winter but prefer a nighttime southern summer cacophony of crickets and frogs.

I agree 100%.

I enjoy winter days. Some are like a time warp where all one sees on the beach is sand and seagulls. (I want to tell johnrudy that I love the bridge avatar - cello?)

Winter is a great time for concerts and other cultural events.

Snowbirds have it figured out.

You would be correct. ;-)

Couldn't have said it any better myself!


It is 12 degrees here in Chicago so we are all experiencing practically the exact same temps! Hope you all stay safe & warm. You'll be back to more tolerable temps soon!

But that is normal for you, I never signed on for temps this cold.

Yep. Sometimes I wonder why I moved here.
And mark my words, my BD every year usually breaks some kind of a weather record!
