Weather Too hot summers or too cold winters? - Page 4

**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....

Citing chicks in bikinis as a justification for voting for too-hot summers is silly. They will still be there whether its kind of hot, hot, or too hot.

Hell, I'd argue that if its too hot, they will opt to stay inside where the air conditioning is, so a vote for too-hot summer is probably a vote for fewer hot chicks in bikinis.

As long as I don't have to shovel "hot" I'll take it.

Summer. At least when the sun goes down you can go outside and enjoy it somewhat.

I choose winter.

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.

I live on the beach. So if it's too hot, I know what to do and that is jump into the ocean or crank the a/c. I use to live in "too cold winters".......... hated it. Because it's miserable and never ends.

I've never understood people in the summer who want to sit outside, have deck parties, grill out and crap like that in 95+ weather. Why? Go inside. The spring and fall is the time to do that sh*T

I live in AZ
so summer is extremely nasty
but tonight got hit with a great monsoon lightning and rain was nasty humid all day

I hate driving on ice
but I really miss the season mostly spring and fall

but jebus the fall was magnificent
and summer kicked ass

Well its been 75 degrees at my house the last few weeks. I guess I can't complain about summer.

Its also Mid 60's in the winter.

So I guess I dislike winter more, due to the extreme conditions.

Snow and subzero temps grind my gears, but these things tip my scale into Winters favor:

Sunburn is worse than numb digits.
My AC unit runs worse than my radiator.
Yard work is worse than shoveling snow.
Needing to shower twice in a day to feel clean...
While I do prefer women's summer dress, I prefer my winter attire.
I tend to get more "play" in the winter.
Winter snuggling is better than peeling sticky bodies apart.
NFL playoffs and NCAA BB and FB championships are better than all other sporting events.
Staying inside the bar b/c it's 90F@10pm is worse than stepping out to smoke@10F
No bugs is better than mosquitoes, spiders, flies, bees, beetles, and earwigs.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years are better than Memorial Day, The 4th, Labor Day

If we're talking pure hot and cold, I might take winter. But when you figure in snow and ice, Summer is my clear winner.

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.

Summer, no contest. Hot summers are what swimming pools are for. Winter is miserable and depressing.

After living in the South for a few years, I don't think I could go back to a Midwest winter.

**Rausch** · 07-25-2011, 07:57 AM

Colder winter.

I can always put more clothes on.

There's only so much one can take off...
