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.

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!
you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot.
There are all kinds of active and passive cooling suits.
If you find an army-looking one, you can be truly tacticool.
They’re powered and still aren’t nearly as effective as a sweater, let alone a coat.
Went hiking with temps in the 20s last weekend. Saw some elk. 10/10 would recommend.
Last week we had a number of days it was in the twenties. I take my dog hiking every morning become breakfast. We go out on mostly unused trails so she can be off leash, because of that I do not see much wildlife. Bit I did see a Bald Eagle trying to catch breakfast this morning.
People be like, “I love pizza,” after having a couple of slices for dinner. No. Eat 10 pizzas. Let’s see.
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.
-30, eh? I might consider a jacket.
-20 is when I can wear my thick hoodie without sweating.
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.
I hate driving in the snow and rain, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the weather.
practice donuts
I believe you’re looking for the words “whipping shitties”
Love winter, its just so quiet and peaceful outside, just the sound of the wind and the bitterly fresh air
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 imagine having an excuse to never go outside is part of the appeal.
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.
❌ hot girl summer
✅ cold bitch winter
Ok. But i just did a 16km walk in negative temp 2 weeks ago for no reason other than to go on a walk. I am a true winter enjoyer. The cold and snow is nice.
I fucking love me a proper snowy winter. Ideally the temperature should drop below -20 at least a couple times, for that crispy cold-bite feeling. Cross-country skiing, ice skating, winter hiking, or just doing a winter BBQ in the snow, sign me up

I just got home from being outside for hockey in 1 degree F weather and I LOVED it. I’m happy outside to about -9. I get so invigorated.
