Pros of winter: you get to see snow, maybe

Cons of winter: literally every conceivable aspect of it. Being cold is the worst sensation. And no, clothing doesn't magically fix it.

Also, people never mention how expensive all that special clothing is. No, thanks, I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars just to be able to step outside. Plus special equipment for the snow, etc. It's too much.

Right? Everything about cold reminds me that humans are a tropical species. Just because we found a way to survive cold, doesn't mean we should. Why do we live so far from the equator these days?? Shit's miserable.

lol have you tried not buying designer clothing? i literally just wear a department store wool base layer, a fluffy jacket, and a cloak made by cutting a recangle of some random fabric i bought at a crafts store, and it's great.

if you can accept looking a bit medieval then it only has to cost like 50 bucks for the whole getup.
