Too hot summers or too cold winters?

[luv]

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....

Winter.....Hunting season and no yard work=GREAT!

When I'm talking about summer, I'm talking about July and August. It goes kind of something like this. Just about every day in July and August sucks because it's 90+. Most days in the winter I don't mind, if it's a high of 42 and there is no snow falling. I'd pick that day..but then there are those days that it's -10 and it snows a foot. Those are much worse, so that puts summer just barely over winter for me.

Looks like a pretty clear consensus.

BINGO !!!

Summer for me. I hate heat, anything above 90 degrees. But Winter is just THAT bad. I hate being outside, at least during Summer there's stuff to do outside.

Winter

I choose winter. You can always put more clothes on if you're cold. When you're hot, you can only get so naked and you're still ****ing hot.

Yes, winter has deep snow and ice. And summer has flooding rains, killer lightning, and shitloads of bugs, and skin cancer from the sun. On the other hand, winter doesn't have scantily-clad chicks.

I find myself wondering if summer would be winning handily if we weren't right in the middle of a nice long heat wave. I'm surprised so many people are choosing winter with all it's cold and crappy snow/ice and early darkness and dangerous driving conditions and gray days and lack of exposed female flesh.

True, but hot tubs help.

Well, perhaps that's the point. I might start losing my legs or something.

I'd imagine that it would have an impact, for sure. I personally wouldn't change my vote just because a world without winter is a world without skiing, but I'm sure a handful of people have "the grass is greener" syndrome going on.

It's pretty much a toss up for me, winter gets the slight edge because other than snow removal I'm not really ever forced to do anything outside. Plus it's way easier to warm my house than cool it.

I don't mind winter. I get tired of it long before I get tired of summer. I do mind 18 inch snowfalls that make me sleep at work as mentioned earlier.

Winter. Ice-cold weather with prolonged ice and snow and slick roads don't bother me. I can always wear more clothing, and I'm not a jackass on the road.

I cant strip naked or pour ice water on my head all the time. Excessively hot summers suck.
