Environment Winter vs. Summer

[melaniej]

I think summer just wins it for me.

I despise being cold, hate getting goosebumps and shivers, and find it impossible to get up in the mornings in winter.
I do love snowboarding though, but I can't think of many other perks of winter except for the lack of mosquitoes and flies.

I love the beach, I enjoy not having to put as much effort into dressing as in winter, as for me it's pretty much bikini every day with dress over the top. Owning a pool definitely helps the heat situation though!
I find I'm a lot more active in summer, get up earlier in the mornings and make more out of my day, whereas in winter I'll happily sit inside in front of the fire all day without moving.
Also as a uni student, summer means over 4 months of holidays, so that helps!

Summer > Winter. (cept for football, of course)

Winter slows you down, makes getting out of bed pretty difficult sometimes and makes everything negative. I absolutely hate having to de-ice the car every morning to get to work, which is cold and wet.

Summer warms the bones. Helps me develop my tan into a healthy thick crust.

Ok after making 52 not out today my mind was changing from winter to summer but then got locked outside in the sun for two hours so that idea got scratched pretty quick

Worst part for me about winter is the cold mornings, not wanting to get out of bed. Waking up to a warm summer's morning and springing out of bed is an awesome way to start the day.

Conversely, much more comfortable going to sleep in winter than it is in summer. But summer still wins out for mine.

37 degrees at 11am here

love it, would hate if i was at work all day though...

Hmmm. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Two factors come into play I reckon.

a) Is the city you are living in designed to be better in one season or the other?
b) Are the seasons unnaturally long?

When I lived in Edinburgh, I loved winter up until Hogmanay (New Years). I loved the cold, the snow, the way the whole city was so atmospheric and castley and ancient and shit. But then by about early February, when it is still dark at 4PM and freezing cold, it shat me.

Moral = City good for winter, winter too long.

Winter in Melbourne is ace obviously because it has footy. But that’s only one day a week and generally a shitful day like 4.40PM on a Sunday if you’re a North supporter. Tuesday afternoon in July in Melbourne can be pretty bloody grim.

Despite not having surf beaches very close to the city, I like summer in Melbs, but it does drag on waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

If push came to shove and I had to live in either Narnia pre fall of the White Witch (eternal winter) or like Saudi Arabia (eternal summer), I would choose pre arrival of the Pevenesy children Narnia because as others have pointed out, it is easier to get warm when you are cold than cool when hot.

Also, getting pissed in the cold is more fun and waking up with hangovers in 35 degree heat sucks arse.

This is why winter > summer. Also because I hate beaches, and because winter has footy. The only advantage summer has is that it's when uni holidays are.

Once you graduate and need to start going to work in the summer, it loses massive points.

The only thing good about this weather is that I can hide all day in my air conditioned room.

I'd probably go Winter, it has footy so huge positive but I find the nights more comfortable and would rather be freezing cold than stinking hot. The lack of flies in winter also helps.

Nearly 40 today in Perth.

Winter.

Hate having no Aircon

 

[FootyJunkie]

Summer needs footy

Give the NTFL a national tv deal and we'd be all set.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah hot weather without aircon sucks. Even worse when the aircon in your car is busted, like mine is, it's like driving around in a mobile sauna.

Sick of this hot weather here already and it's not even summer yet.

[power09]

winter is better, just more chilled

usually hate summer but it wont be as bad this year since im a bludging student now and not labourer.

 

[Zarrix]

I'm beginning to hate this summer already, and it isn't even summer yet. Tonight is going to be shit, still 26 ****ING degrees here...

 

[beez]

Pfft..it's 11 degrees here, ****ing cold and it's only 10 days til Summer.

 

[Zarrix]

Would swap shoes in a heartbeat

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Spring
Autumn
Summer
Winter


So therefore Summer beats Winter

 

[coke_zero]

Summer all the way. Cant go to the beach all day with mates in winter. Plus nothing beats watching cricket after a long hot day on tv in a cool room.

[charcoalchicken]

I like both but it annoys me a little more when it's stinking hot compared to when it's freezing cold.

 

[WALL-e]

Winter all the way, you can sleep.
