Weather Too hot summers or too cold winters?

**luv** · 07-24-2011, 06:02 PM

Let's take these to extreme, since those of us in the Midwest have experienced each. Which do you prefer? I've just seen people complain about both, so I thought I would list what's bad about each to see which people would tolerate better.

Summer: Heat waves, dead grass, sweating through your shirt, humidity, sunburns, hot pools, too-hot-to-touch steering wheels

Winter: Ice storms, more layers of clothes, higher utility bills, slick roads, snow drifts, chilled-to-the-bone temperatures, cabin fever

I've heard people complain about each (or a few people *cough*Bugeater*cough* complain about both). Which is the lesser of the two evils?

Poll forthcoming....

In San Diego it gets down to the 40's during the winter, and technically it doesn't get hot here until late August/September so I don't know if that counts as summer.

I choose winter.

You have never experienced "extreme" winter, have you?

Not extreme cold, but in September and October it gets over 110 here.

I'll take the triple digits we've had 8 days in a row until today over the 18 inches of snow we got one day/night last winter that forced me to sleep on the couch at work. Extremes aren't desirable in either but I'll take summer every time.

I choose summer because I live near the ocean and it rarely gets above 80 in the summer. In winter it's dark by 5:00. I hate that.

This, I can warm up easily, just put on more clothes. When its as hot as its been this summer I couldnt cool off even if I was allowed to go around naked. **** summer.

I used to prefer winter, due to the "you can always put more layers on" mentality. However, there's so much more you can do in the summer, and sweat never killed anyone (heat, of course, but not sweat). Even if the pool is difficult to keep cool, no matter if it gets really warm, it's cooler than it is outside.

Summer....not even a contest for me. No matter how hot, you can always leave your house and theres more stuff to do during the Summer.

Not to mention going to work and getting off when it's dark out sucks.

That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.
