Im different from all, I love pure bone-chilling temperatures and going outside in them, but also staying in with a mug of HC

I walk to school every morning and back so I guess that counts as exercise? But I definitely feel more motivated in what Joe would consider winter in Texas. I usually just take a car in freezing temps, except when it snows, then I can snowball fight my friends

Wasn't there a big freeze there a few years ago? I remember hearing about power outages due to frozen gas pipes...

Yeha I heard the US had like a complete bone-chiller back in December 2021 that even frosted on places like Florida and Texas, but assuming that’s pretty rare then…

Mine is Winter. I do enjoy the cold weather, since I can wear warm clothes.

I enjoy the summer because it’s really hot & it means I get to go to the beach & have free time or at least it used to.

The only reason I would have picked up autumn over it is because of my birthday & some personal sentimentality over its indicators i.e white wagtails, seasquills, orange leaves, Maple Story, Tombi/Tomba, ect.

I find the beach boring personally, the only good part is the ice cream

Ehh, ice cream on the beach is overrated. I'd rather buy a tub, grab a waffle cone and just eat it at home.

The summer vacations though, Barakon got a point, though the winter has vacation time too!

Beach in the winter is epic, only problem is dog walkers

I like getting ice cream on the beach because I like ice cream, but I’d rather have it in a good ol’ gelato parlour

Hmmm, I'd prefer going to the beach at a time when not many people around. So I guess winter would work. Well I think any season other than summer would be great but I wonder if the water would be like freezing if I went in the winter....

Yeah I’ve been in a lake in Winter. It’s f-f-freezing

Hmm. That's a very tough question as I find great comfort in the scenery of all four.

However, if I had to choose one...maybe Autumn? As I've gotten older, I've found myself appreciating the countryside more and more, and there's something special about the weak morning sun poking through a tunnel of gold and brown trees.

Autumn. And winter, a bit. When it's not too cold.

I see that I previously voted for summer here. I would most likely still agree with this, since it's really nice outside in summer, and I like the long evenings where it stays bright longer. Over here, it tends to be dark before 4PM in the winter, and even in the daytime you really don't get much light while direct sunlight seems like such a foreign concept. That being said, summer is the complete opposite and it barely even gets dark at all (and only for a couple hours at that). Only thing about summer is I don't like those days where it's like a complete dead heat inside, mostly when you're trying to sleep.

Winters here are fairly brutal compared to Ireland, with a lot of snow and ice, and many days well below freezing. It's fine of course when you're indoors, but you definitely have to layer up and wear a good pair of winter boots when going out for a walk (more like a hike lol).

I used to like Winter the most because of the snow, vibes, and the fact skiing is one of my favourite things ever, but I gotta say that I like Summer the most now. I like wearing as little as possible, and there are few things that feel as nice as the warm Summer air on your arms and legs and the grass under your bare feet. I don't understand how so many people just permanently wear long jeans no matter the weather, it looks so uncomfortable, and I hate the feeling of my skin being imprisoned behind unnecessary clothing. It doesn't get too hot here either, 27C is on the upper end of hot, with 24-ish being the average in the middle of Summer.

Yeah I never liked wearing clothes that covered up. Even when I had to wear a business suit and pants while I was in Dallas, I disliked it as it was just so uncomfortable. Maybe people only wear jeans all the time to look fashionable or something.

What I like about living in Houston is that I can almost always wear shorts and a T-shirt even if it’s in the middle of winter, since there rarely is a long period of time when the town goes through a deep freeze.

On the flip side, summers can get awfully bothersome down here with temps lately ranging from 35 C to over 40 C, and there usually aren’t a lot of winds during this time. Don’t get me wrong, summer is nice at times, but I think I would appreciate the season much more if I was living somewhere cooler/breezier.

Y'all just want to keep wearing shorts and t-shirts all year long.

Jokes aside though, one winter where the temperatures, especially the wind chill were well below freezing, we had gone to Lowe's to pick up wood pellets for our stove, and one guy operating the forklift there had basketball shorts on. We're talking temperatures that could easily give you frost bite in probably under a minute.

(Though I did design my OC Reese to be one who refuses to wear pants and only wear shorts, regardless of how cold it gets. It just seemed fitting for my character overall.)

Typically I prefer the cooler seasons since I always felt I can get away from the cold easier than I could the heat. With my computer equipment I still have ran the A/C upstairs even during winter.

I find it's much easier to get away from the cold than the heat. Even if you have a power outage, you can still use something like a blanket or to keep warm. If that were to happen in the summer, unless you went somewhere nearby with cold water/air or something you'd have to be stuck in the warm/hot temps for whoknowshowlong.

I live in a state where, if you don't live up in the mountains, we don't often get colder weather for most of the year until winter. Our summers can be brutal, like for example earlier this year around July where we broke our own record for the longest consecutive amount of days (54) over 110F/43C. So uh yeah, I prefer winter!

43 Celsius??? That’d be a WR in the UK!

It was very hot. The best way I can describe weather that hot, is that when you're outside for over like 5-10+ mins, you can almost feel it starting to practically sear your skin. High UV index and all.

How hot is it right now there? It’s 2°C out atm
