What's wrong with enjoying winter from the comfort of indoors?
Tbh I love it outside too, at least when its snowy and not wet.

Also hot chocolate tastes 10x+ better when you’ve been out in the cold.
The trick is you have to be out there for at least 20 minutes to acclimate. Otherwise it just hurts a little and then you get hot when you go back inside.

Shitty take. It's like: People be like: I love summer and then stay inside in the A/C.
Or in a pool. Smh
What’s wrong with loving putting on snuggly warm clothing in winter? Not to mention that I love both warm inside and cold outside in winter.
When I was a child, I loved snow. The adults told me that when I had to start shoveling the walkway and driveway, my love would fade. It did not.
Then I was told that when I learned to drive, I would hate it. First snowstorm after I got my license, I instantly headed out to an empty parking lot to practice donuts. I’ve been caught in sudden storms and watched other cars slide off the road. I still love snow.
Then I was told that when I got a job and had to support a family that I’d hate snow. Yet this has come to pass, and I still squee like a child when snow starts. I long to take walks in it. I dream of sledding, or building snowmen, or throwing snowballs, even in my middle age, even if I can no longer run as I used to.
No, you will never take my love of winter from me. Summer heat, get thee behind me.
You can only be cozy in the cold weather, plus you can wear a coat if it's cold but you can't wear an anti-coat if it's hot. When I was too young to fully understand seasons I used to have nightmares about it suddenly becoming summer because it's just such an awful time of year
This is a large part of the winter appeal for me. Dressing for winter is easier then for very hot weather. Although I do use a wide brimmed hat for heat now, it's like a tiny free cooler!
At least winter is comfortable inside. Summers get so warm now that there’s often no escape from the heat. Where I live AC used to be completely unnecessary so rental apartments with AC basically don’t exist.
And as someone with a delayed circadian rhythm I also hate daylight saving time. I don’t want to get up an hour earlier every day. Why do morning people get to force their lifestyle on us?
I like winter because I can control it, you can always get warmer, it's harder to get colder in summer.
People be like, "I love pizza," after having a couple of slices for dinner. No. Eat 10 pizzas. Let's see.
❌ hot girl summer
✅ cold bitch winter
Jokes on you. I love the cold. I unironically enjoy being out in - 30 weather. Yes its cold as fuck but it feels fucking fresh. If theres a bit of sun too. Perfection.
While winter is far from my favourite season, it has its charms:
- Cold temperature outside means indoors is never too hot for comfort
- The snow is pretty
- Winter sports are fun
Given the choice, I would take spring or autumn however, which has more sunlight and better conditions for biking
For me it's partly the cozy socks, partly the fact that people in general aren't out and about as much so it makes the whole world feels less chaotic and overstimulating.
People who don't like winter act like they are freezing to death the second it's below 50F
My least favorite thing about winter isn't the weather. It's how little daylight we get.
I stand by the original statement - I love winter! If some people can't handle it, too bad.
Went hiking with temps in the 20s last weekend. Saw some elk. 10/10 would recommend.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Yes I love winter and I love being outside during winter, I imagine I would have a whole other perspective if I couldn't afford to heat my home.
I wouldn't say I liked last Friday in Minneapolis, but it was worth it. (TLDR: 50K protesters against ICE presence in -25°F/-30°C windchill)
I mean the feeling of coziness and warmth inside is a huge part of why winter is so great! I do also actively go hiking, snow-shoeing, skiing, etc in winter and love that too, but that just adds to the beautiful contrast between crisp, fresh winter air and warm cozy indoors.
I just got in from shoveling round one.
I'm thankful that it's cold when it snows, I love sledding with the kids.
But now that there was snow and snowmen and snowball fights, can it please be fucking summer now?
50cm of snow outside. Walking is only option to go anywhere. Even if its a longer walk to take side streets, its a nice walk to have once a year. Going to the beaches in the south next week, and the escape great too, but fresh snow on a quiet walk is an awesome experience.
I just got frostbite in my ears yesterday because I was having an absolute blast in -24c weather lol. Once they heal (or fall off idk we'll see, but doctor says they'll probably heal) I'm going to be right back out there again with better headgear. I love the cold, the dark, give me more winter
Love winter, its just so quiet and peaceful outside, just the sound of the wind and the bitterly fresh air
As an adult I loved winter still. I could be outside, do stuff without suffering heart stroke, and I loved running in the snow with my trail running shoes for 13+ miles.
I now live in the southwest and man so I miss winter.
