The perks of winter:

  • it is easier to keep warm during winter than it is to keep cool in the summer
  • get to wear more clothings which means more pockets to carry things
  • all the hell spawned insects go into hibernation
  • everything layered in a blanket of snow glistens and sparkles.
  • can build stuff with snow so easily
  • unpleasant people are deterred or avoid going out as they are bitter about the snow so less likely to encounter them in the winter.
  • the weaklings rely more on help as they are not strong enough for winter
  • can do more exercising without overheating

    I can relate to every single thing you said, and I love it! But summer has never come close to killing me, but winter has. Hell, I got a touch of hypothermia on a lonely creek in Florida, in July.

    I hate winter, but not because of the climate (we get a couple of days if snow at best), but because it’s just constantly dark. It’s incredibly depressing. It’s already getting dark by 16:30 now.

    You forgot one perk that I really like.

    The snow is sound dampening, everything is just much quieter in winter (as an added benefit to there just being less noise generating things going on)
