Well summer never made me want to kill myself so I tend to prefer it. Severe seasonal affective disorder is interesting.

That said these days I have ways of dealing with it. Turns out running during the winter days is kinda neat because you end up getting endorphins and UV. I also have one of those SAD lamps and they truly work for me. Nowadays I like winter a lot more - especially cozy stuff like knitting and tea.

I do think that the world's increasing waistlines affect people's attitude about summer. I know that the bigger you are, the more miserable the heat can feel. Plus wearing revealing clothes isn't fun for everyone, especially with things like chub rub. On the flip side, being skinny makes you pretty cold so the winter can be miserable. I know that no amount of layers would help the ache in my bones when I was underweight.

This is why autumn is bae. Hot enough to be outside, cold enough to not sweat, pretty colours and harvest activities, Halloween... Autumn wins. Close second is spring, which I hear is fabulous in many places, but in Canada is mostly just freezing winter temperatures, one week of trees blooming, and then just 30 C temperatures after that.

I feel like people who like snow have never had to wake up at 3am to start a 15 hour shift of snow plowing and removal. And then another day of it, and several more.

Snow plowing and removal at a scale larger than my driveway and sidewalks is fucking horrible. I used to love and enjoy snow prior to it being part of my job.

I prefer the cold to the heat, but snow and ice can go fuck themselves too. One time, it took me over five hours to drive home from uni, something that should take 50 minutes. A woman died in that traffic, she froze in her car

I just like being naked without being able to cut glass with my nipples

I have to remind myself that I'm in Ohio, and that nothing happens here, especially the hottest seven days in human history, I think we barely hit 90s this year. They happened somewhere. Not here.

So of course, I wouldn't understand why all the hateposts about summer. It doesn't kill people here. Winter does. Winter has black ice and doing a clownfall onto the back of your head that kills you or breaks a bone under (inconsolable weeping) American healthcare, so yeah, if that stuff doesn't happen to you in winter but summer hits 100F I'm sure you think summer lovers are crazy people.

Fuck snow!

I started singing songs from Grease before I understood the meme

Awesome cave painting vibes

exactly; summer is great!

Preferring summer and warmth is a form of weakness, and Sam Houston knew that's why the South would lose.

You don't live in Canada where there's a fuck ton of snow for like 5 months
