    why? what was so bad about it? it's not like you're a feeble old woman who has trouble getting around on the ice. besides this winter wasn't that cold at all.

    Flip that over. What's so bad about 80°? It's not like you're a feeble old woman who's going to have a heart attack in the heat.
    Some people like colder, some people like warmer.

    Yeah, but when you're drunk that ice can be a bitch. LOL

    well I do have a condition that makes me sweat much more than average and makes my extremities swell up and bloat so I am biased to the cold. but it's always struck me as odd that people consider winter to be so evil in modern america where it's all still pretty easy...I mean I dislike hot weather, but I don't find myself praying for winter the way most people pray for summer. plus, winter is easier to deal with- you put on a warm coat, hat, gloves, boots, etc and you're fine (I've always thought that if you're cold, you're not wearing the proper clothing). I mean especially around here (it's probably worse in REALLY cold places). it barely got into single digits at all this winter- by usual standards it was fairly warm. in summer, there's not much you can do to avoid the heat when you're outside.

    The majority of people almost everywhere that experiences both would prefer summer to winter.

    I dunno, I like them both equally. Problem is Irish weather.. in the summer, all the nice weather seems to be during the week, weekend it's just rainy and miserable... so... while I suffer in the heat on the way to and from work, I don't get to enjoy it by simply sitting out in it :( . BUT, leaving the weather out of it, I much prefer the activities that seem to arise in the summer... like simply sitting in a beer garden all day :) and there are constant BBQ invites... people seem to rediscover their sociable side.

    Most people like being outside without having to dress like an eskimo?
    Green leaves are more pleasing than bare branches?
    Spring has sprung, the grass has rise, I wonder where the birdies is?
    No evil, oil-loving neanderthal is scraping their car windows every morning and afternoon?
    No one has to wait for the car to warm up to be comfortable?

    This really shouldn't be an argumentative concept. Generally most people like warm better than cold.
    Why do you care what everyone else likes summer?

    The main good thing about when there's not snow is that it is easier to drive places. I don't like driving in snowstorms and you get feeling trapped. If you want to see people being negative about summer, just turn on the TV in Houston in summer. 'Woo - another hot one folks - stay indoors or in the shade etc.' I guess people just get tired of being cold though - its kind of nice to step outside without needing a jacket.

    AND when it's cold my muscles tense up. Warm weather is more relaxing.

    I thought you didn't like the snow because you are afraid you are going to slip.

    I think the thing you are complaining about is "muggy" weather. not 80 degree weather.

    and that is my 2 cents.

    I don't really "care" so to speak, I just want to know why and if they are just jumping on the band wagon or whatever.

    one thing that does get to me about everyone else liking summer, is that often I have to pretend to too. If someone says "hey this is great weather we're having!" it makes for an awkward situation if I reply "nah, it's too warm for me." so I have to go along. and actually that makes me wonder if other people don't feel the same.

    I like that stuff you mention about summer too- I love to be outside. which is why I don't really like summer...if that makes sense. because then it's too hot to be outside when you want to be. it would be nice if we had all those things you list but it never went above like 65. I can't run outside in the summer. I hate that.

    This is the top of my scale for warm weather. I hate heat. It has been so nice recently, but as usual we get no spring in Boston. Straight from winter to sweat filled days and nights.

    I am with GTD the 60's is perfect, I dread happy weathermen on TV, and I like the cold better than August.
