Weather Too hot summers or too cold winters? - Page 5

**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....

If I had to choose between spending a late summer 100 degree day in the sun at Arrowhead and say, the playoff game vs the Ravens, I'd vote for winter. I can deal with the cold better than sitting in that kind of heat for hours and then dealing with the sunburn for 4 more days.

Day-to-day though, I'll take summer. In the morning, I'd rather walk out to 80 and humid than cold and bitter. In the afternoon/evening, I'd rather walk out into the heat and have 4 more hours of daylight than the bitter cold darkness. I'd rather sit in a hot car, open the windows and wait a couple minutes for the A/C than spend a few minutes scraping, a few more minutes waiting for the engine to warm up, then a few more waiting for the car to warm up. I'd rather deal with idiots in the heat than idiots on ice.

But have you been to Disney's Idiots On Ice show? It's spectacular.

I'll take a hot summer over winter any day. Despite the heat, I can still do things outside. In the winter, I tend to hibernate. I hate cold weather.

Frazod · 07-25-2011, 10:16 AM

**** heat

**** humidity

**** THIS WRETCHED SHIT SUCKING SUMMER

While I'd prefer 70 and sunny, if I have to choose an extreme, I'll take winter.

Dayze · 07-25-2011, 10:25 AM

I can't stand winter, primarily for the reasons that have already been stated; short days, dark at 3pm, cold, miserable, ice, snow, dead vegatation etc.

I'll take summer, even at its' hottest, over winter.

we just returned from camping where it was a heat index of about 105 and 70% humidity etc..

**007** · 07-25-2011, 10:28 AM

I like winter. I like it getting dark early. I hate daylight savings time.

WTF?

Dr. Johnny Fever · 07-25-2011, 11:15 AM

I move that both extreme heat and cold be damned all to hell and we start going from spring to fall and back again over and over. That'll teach those other stupid seasons.

You work overnight and you sleep during the day. You'd never see daylight!

**Gonzo** · 07-25-2011, 11:22 AM

I'll say that I prefer cold winter's for now but ask me again in February....
