There are no bugs outside and almost no bugs inside. This makes the outdoors a lot more enjoyable.

It actually gets dark at night in the Northernmost latitudes which is a godsend when you prefer it pitch dark at night. This also means people put out a lot of cozy light.

The seasonal foods are amazing from the dinners too the desserts.
 
It's a lot easier to control the temperature than it is in the summer.

A lot more holidays and a slackened attitude at work in the days running up to Christmas.

Bad weather doesn't affect your plans as much as it would in June.
 
Winter:

1. Going out for walks with my dog without worrying about him getting ticks and shit all over him
2. Going out innawoods to sit at a campfire drinking hot tea from a thermos, listening to an audiobook, and feeling the crisp winter air on my face
3. Giving and receiving gifts for New Years and Christmas

Summer:

1. Being able to ride my motorcycle
2. Grilling meat outside in a t-shirt
3. A fresh batch of peppers for my pepper plantation, possibly a harvest of actual pods? Pretty stoked on having homegrown peppers.
 
1, snow fall.
2. blue wine.
3. Donald Duck on christmas (yes, we have that)
best part apart of the summer.
1. the sun, not being dark all the time
2. getting a tan.
3. a cold beer.
 
1. Being able to wear lots of layers, inc. my favourite coat.
2. Nights drawing in means that the city has that Blade Runner look from about 4.30pm
3. Not having to shower four times a day due to sweatiness.

Summer can go fuck itself .
 
1. It doesn't get 90-100 degrees outside and I enjoy the cold air more.
2. I prefer wearing winter clothes and sweaters.
3. Everything looks festive.

Things I'm looking forward to in Summer:
Not much, Summer has the worst heat.

2. Night time at 9 pm, not 4:30
3. Wake and bake in the forest
 
Winter

  2. The cold air feels nice and relaxing to me.

Summer:

Winter:
1. It's cold here but not so cold I can't be outside all day. Makes working outdoors comfy.
2. No one gives me weird looks for drinking hot coffee in the middle of the day.
3. I like wearing sweaters and being a huge fluff ball.

Summer:
1. Thotties fucking everywhere out here.
2. No one gives me weird looks for going out wearing sandals.
3. Trolling coworkers by drinking hot coffee in the middle of the day.
 
Winter:
1. Better sleep
2. Getting and giving gifts during Christmas, more holidays in winter (& autumn too) giving it a more relaxed feeling at school and work
3. Being able to wear hoodies and jackets

Summer:
1. Going outside at night when it's not too hot anymore & seeing fireflies
2. It's not as gloomy out; things aren't as dead and it's lighter for longer
3. Trips to the beach or lake to swim are usually pretty fun

I really prefer summer to winter, I like being able to go outside without absolutely frying in the heat. My dorm this year also doesn't have AC, which was miserable while it was hot out. Plus being in the heat just makes me have a shorter temper whereas the cold is more tolerable for me.
 
  • Snow isolates sound and causes machinery to go slower; effectively shrinking the distance between privileged richies and normal people as they both have to slow down in the face of fluffy white nature.
  • My entire life it has meant either the end of a semester, and thus a bunch of months to focus on an exam instead of trying to identify what the fuck is worth remembering in a course, or simply just xmas off as a minor in school.
  • Through public and high school, some exceptional kid (or girls) always started wearing christmas hats, sweaters, and generally act unschool-like and relaxed, almost as if we weren't submitting to the idea of "we're here to learn" but also that we're humans in a constructed relationship with a teacher guilting us into learning.
  • All windows fully open at 3 am and not freezing.
  • No shit on the roads; biking time.
  • Everyone I know, high on their education and academical progress, reverting to "oh, I used to fuck around with my friends in the summer" mode, and thus become tolerable for a while,
 
1. Being comfy by turning up the thermostat to 28 C and bouncing it around as I find the right heat for maximum comfy
2. Snow makes things look foggy and lights/neon color the snow as it falls. Some cities with sky scrappers look amazing and dark and comfy
3. When snow sets just right on trees it feels like a winter wonderland pic related

1. Fishing
2. Ice-cream and poutine
3. Warm enough to get comfy with a fan
