Oooh, what about the air getting so dry that my sinuses crack and bleed, seeping blood in a post-nasal drip into my stomach, making me low-level nauseated for months on end! My skin and lips I can moisturize, but not much I can do about my sinuses unless I want to humidify my house to the point where the windows start growing mold. Fun times!

Definitely my shoes and socks being wet for the next 5 months.
I live where winter is short and mild, and most people love it.
Even so, even here, when you ask people what they like about winter, it's sweaters and boots, cuddling up with hot coffee, sitting around a fire. Literally describing warmth. They like being warm. Why not enjoy the summer then?
Because the summers are now scorching hot
I like the burn of frigid air going through my lungs.
I don't have to listen to leaf blowers and lawn mowers at 6am and the neighbors aren't mowing lawns every day of the week.
Any time not winter here is allergy season and none of the above helps.
It sets here a little after 15 T_T, and even before it sets, it's so low in the sky that the houses and trees still block it.
But at least we have a little snow right now which makes everything brighter. Here we don't even get that much snow anymore.
I love the cold. It's the best.
The suicidal agony.
But then there's the best part of waking up, the Folgers in your cup.
And your brother surprising you by coming home for Christmas from the Peace Corps and getting to fuck him
Da fuck?
My bad, I just naturally assume everyone knows of this amazing commercial. Go to Google or YouTube and search "Folgers incest" or "Folgers brother sister" and enjoy!

You should try filling it to the rim with Brim instead.

literally just dress better, learn to apply layers correctly and suddenly going outside in -10°C is actively comfortable.
Tight-fitting wool underclothes, fluffy mid layer, and wind-proof outer layer. This wicks away moisture from your skin and traps insulating air.
I was just thinking about something similar to this as I appreciate the first snow of the season in my region, and scroll through events across the world. But it was more along the lines of ‘does the hardship of a tough living season which we all endure as a collective actually enhance our condition?’
The past year I ponder the events of my life and how they have unfolded, and in some way they come around to start of another season, returning that familiarity, that hardship.
Having never grown up in a year-round temperate environment, where there is a lack of this variation, I can’t relate. But anecdotally I wonder if that the lack of that cycle removes a sense of urgency, to prepare for the hard season ahead, and results in a regional complacency.
Take a few cold showers, and then the suffering from the ambient cold is just over.
