    Sometimes I feel like a freak in society for not loving summer and not too bothered by winter.

      Do you live somewhere where it goes below freezing regularly during winter?

      Edit: to expand on that, it’s not the temperatures that bother me during the winter. It’s the extremely unsafe road conditions.

        Yeah I do, and I don’t drive, but I am very aware that driving is a nightmare in freezing temperatures and totally get your point there.

        Here I am to be a contrarian: I love summer and it doesn’t even go below freezing during winter. It rarely even goes below 5 °C.

        …or maybe I’d enjoy winter more if we had snow instead of just rain and depression?

          As someone who moved from a country with similar winter to snow country, I think you’d enjoy snow. As long as you dress right, it’s not as bad as it looks. Unlike rain, you can dust it off before it melts indoors so you’re less wet. Snow is fun to play with and beautiful. And my favourite is after a snow storm, fresh snow absorbs so much sound so it’s super quiet and calm. I love going for a walk after! Probably great for depression!

            There was a time I lived in Iowa, and it was the first time I lived somewhere with regular snow. I dislike cold, and I dislike dark, but those moments of walking by myself through my quiet neighborhood at night during a snowstorm were pretty awesome.

            That said, I’m fully in camp summer.
