You only get winter because you also have the other three. (We only have autumn here in the UK though).

You could always find a planet without a tilted axis. 😁😁

I like wintertime, it is comfortable sleeping in low temps. Great for my astma as well.

I also like the dense sound taking a walk when it snows, and appreciate returning to a warm home after. Then it is time for green pea soup or stamppot and rookworst.

They should get rid of changing clocks though

I like the winter. I moved to where I live now specifically so I could experience seasons (Southern California has one season all the time)

Also, your post reminded me of this Smashing Pumpkins song.

Not me. Winter time is the best time of the year in AZ.

I go back and forth. I like getting cozy and warm, but when it's cold my skin feels uncomfortable, like it's crawling or shrinking on me, like I put it on wrong. And my hands feel gross and cold and I rue having to touch myself with them in the bathroom.

But when I get warm enough it's nice.

I don't mind the winter if its cool & dry, not so much when its windy & raining..

I’m an uber driver. I get to be outside in the daylight all day. Work whatever hours I want. It’s nice.

I dont care what outside is like. It's always dark in the basement.

I kinda like it. I guess it helps that in my part of the world it's absolutely blazing hot in summer. I love that, but with the intense onslaught of sun over that period, by the time winter rolls back around it's kind of a welcome change. I also just look way better in winter clothes so it's nice to feel better about my appearance for that portion of the year. I also find that it's way easier to warm yourself up when it's cold than to cool down when it's hot. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big wuss so all summer I'll whine and moan about it being soo hot and then immediately complain about being freezing in winter, but on balance I think I find the discomfort of my region's winter a bit easier to deal with than its summer. I also like not being completely covered in a layer of sweat as well. I don't especially care a whole lot about when the daylight hours appear, I'm as happy being out and about at night as I am in the day and appreciate either for different reasons so if more of my waking hours are taking place in darker periods of the day then I'm just appreciating those for what they are just as I also appreciate all the bright and sunny hours. I would say that as someone who has trouble sleeping when it's too bright I definitely prefer it when the sun comes up later and doesn't wake me up. It probably helps that I'm hardly an outdoors-man so it's not like much if any of the things I'd actually do across a year are really curtailed by the mandates of the season, though I guess I do miss the beach. Besides, like a lot of people, I work indoors so a good chunk of any given day is taken up by a minimum 8 hours of work usually starting at 09 so when the weather is absolutely beautiful and sunny and clear I'll see it for about 20 minutes out the car window before going in to a building with the blinds drawn and the air-conditioning on until I emerge at what is then evening hours.

Winter has his charms as well.

Hate is a strong word, but yes I prefer the longer days of summer, and like doing summer things, and yes going to work in the dark sucks, but coming home from work in the dark is even worse, so dispiriting.

It's not even cold here, and summer too hot for most but summer is still my favorite, winter least favorite.

I was born and raised in a country with four distinct seasons. I loved all the seasons. However, I have always been a winter person. One of my bucket list items is to live in a place where the sun sets for months and there is only one long winter night.

I love winter. Cold, dark, and snowy are my jam. To be fair this may be an ingrained coping mechanism from growing up in Alaska.

I'm split on this. Most people here that love the time shift also love winter. I don't love winter but I do love it getting dark sooner.

Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it'll never snow enough

Lol you people where it only gets dark at 1800 after DST ends

Its the fucking worst.

I actually like it mostly, but fall and late summer are my favorite seasons.

It sounds like you may have seasonal depression, lots of folks do, including one of my siblings. Have you checked out the special lamps they have? They mimic the suns light, Idk about the research, but I know a lot of people who've said they help.

Nah, gimme the dark mode time. Year round.

It doesn't matter what season it is outside my basement, I still will refuse to go outside willingly.

I detest the cold. I’m skinny enough that I have to wear long underwear basically constantly as it gets colder. The one potential upside to the environmental hellscape we’re creating for ourselves is that I may be able to stop doing that. Otherwise, winter is just annoying as hell, it’s such a stupid ass season.
