Summer people are all masochists.
Yeah, but we are warm and happy.
Y’all cold weather people don’t make sense to us either. Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed. We describe nice people as warm, icy people are bad.
Nobody wants to relax in a hammock when it’s icy and windy out.
Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed.
Are you sleeping without comfy blankets? That’s on you.
If you want a comfy blanket then you want to be warm. Warm is good.
I want to get comfortably warm when i want it, not hellish ass HOT when the weather says so
Warm is innate, a primal need.
How are you going to become warm in the depths of hell?
No need to become, already am.
I never sleep better than in a near-freezing room with warm blankets. Well maybe on trains. Cold room with warm blankets is like the definition of cozy.
A room so warm you don’t want blankets is miserable.
You can heat up a cold room and a cold bed in winter much more easily than to cool down during summer.
I think that’s the problem.
Winter people probably like bundling up inside. Summer people are outside doing things. Most of my summer people friends, also enjoy winter activities, just maybe not as much as summer.
Winter people must be… Terminally online? 🤷♂️
Put on a nice warm jacket and you can get out in winter too duh
I am terminally online, but I spent winter in Kazakhstan, xinjiang, northern China, and Hokkaido, wearing a jacket doesn’t stop me from going outside, it just stops me from looking like someone just dumped a bucket of water on me after 5 minutes.
spoiler
Nah, man, it’s a good theory but I know a guy who wore shorts in Antarctica. 30 years ago, too, not the pussy above freezing summers we get now. Totally mad outdoorsman, loves the cold. He’s not the only one, either.
Remember, moving warms you up. That’s why skiers can wear those sexy Ned Flanders outfits and not die. Even though they are insulating, they’re only good for people doing exercise.
Edit: And then there’s me, a guy who hates exercise and loves summer, because of all that beautiful cheery sunlight. Goddamn SAD.
There’s no limit to how many layers I can wear in winter, but there’s a limit to how many I can take off in the summer. Simple as
You don’t have a knife? They’re not nearly as expensive as a good coat.
Even with a knife scraping off everything that makes you human, you will eventually encounter a limit.
And eventually the coats will crush you, create their own weather system, collapse into a black hole. What’s your point?
Yeah but putting that layer back might be very expensive 😄
There is definitely a limit to how many layers you can put on.
I mean a shirt, sweater, and insulated jacket can keep me very warm flying down a windy mountain at <-20C so do you really need that many layers?
I’ve done undershirt - overshirt - jacket 1 - jacket 2 in the dead of winter. If the Sun vanished and the temperature plummeted to -100 I’m pretty sure i could figure out how to add a third jacket and then a blanket on top of that.
Prefer snow to ticks and mosquitoes ngl.
The only season I can enjoy outside is Fall. Summer is too hot, Winter is too cold, and I get allergies in the Spring.
Fall is perfect.
Here in Australia I’m hosting a snow trip next week… there is still no snow in the mountains where we’re goin
Also f summer. Hayfever and bushfires suck
I have several friends in Australia. Most of them have never experienced snow so how unusual is that really?
This is everyone in Arizona in the summer. “At least there is no windshield scraping!”
AZ people are delusional.
Peggy Hill was right
Phoenix is a monument to the hubris of man.
Phoenix and Vegas are competing for worst place to build gigantic cites.
Amen! I may not believe in a god but if I did, it’s obvious that land was not meant for humans.
Ooh, Arizona, sounds exotic!
Where is that? Somewhere in Africa?
*Everyone in Southern AZ
The high desert portions of the state like Flagstaff and Sedona get snow every year and aren’t nearly as bad as the Phoenix valley. It still gets pretty hot but it’s not the unmitigated hellhole of constant 100 degree days.
Texan here. Winter used to be a nice break from our hot, humid, miserable summers. Now some years I don’t even need to wear a jacket. It’s just hot all year round now. I hate it.
Finally, someone who understands. I want snow!
Yes I will gladly take the pits of hell over anything from Jack Frost or temperatures going anywhere below 70.
You can always put more on, but there’s a hard limit to what you can take off.
But I enjoy being hot
I’m a bit cold blooded myself. What’s that, you want me to go in the unheated pool? Fuck you! I just got warm!
then wear a black hoodie outside?
70°C??? You summer people are crazy!
Hence the picture. Above 70 F is where it begins to get uncomfortable. Then it gets much higher than that as well
Assuming you are talking in Fahrenheit you don’t really need a jacket for everything above 35° as long as it doesn’t rain or is particularly windy. 100° just make me feel as if I am getting cooked alive with nowhere to escape
I’m the dude you’ll see wearing a sweater in 60 cause that’s when I start feeling cold. It’s been hitting the triple digits where I live lately and I’m loving it. Been going for long walks at local parks.
I love summer, but you have to do it right. Going to the store and walking across a hot blacktop parking lot is asking for a bad time.
Hanging out in a park, going for hike, swimming, hitting the beach, more daylight hours, ice cream, grilling and admiring the greenery. That’s peak life on Earth 🌎🌍
All of those things happen outside in the blistering heat with the sun beating down on you as your sweat makes your clothes stick to your body. No thanks. You can also do them all far better in spring or fall.
Heat index was about 42°C and humid today. Just being outside for 30 seconds was miserable, let alone walking. Can’t even think about any outdoor activities.
Yes, but not at more than 36°C. Possibly swimming though… in the shadows, so the sun doesn’t kill you with cancer rays.
Come visit me in south Louisiana.
I had family in Nola, I’m good lmao. Everyone thinks Southerners are dramatic or exaggerating, but the Southern States hands-down have the worst climate in the country thanks to the humidity and heat mixture.
Especially if you’re away from the cost, it’s all the worst parts of tropical temperatures without an ounce of the good.
The high right now is 99, the feels like is 109, and having just come inside, there’s just enough breeze right now to piss you off rather than cool you. We have an extreme heat warning from now until the fuckin 3rd, and a lot of us have zero legal protection from working outside in this God forsaken heat.
I’ve been hearing of some local construction crews threatening the bosses if they have to go outside in this heat, and I know many people in my industry are currently quitting because our northern us based corporate overlords decided this week to get a stick up their ass about uniforms, insisting upon heavy ass cargo pants, a thick cotton undershirt, an even thicker polo, and the most unnecessarily heavy duty safety vest. My crew of 10 lost 2 people this week because they refused to go out in this bullshit wearing all that. The rest of us also refused, but corporate made an example out of them.
That being said, Louisiana is still worse. And I’d argue most of Alabama.
Alaska’s LOL…
<Laughs in Willamette Valley.>
I’ve been there in August, and it and the rest of the PNW is uncomfortable in Summer. But as someone from Mississippi, nowhere in the US has the heat and humidity mixture that the Gulf States do.
From June to September, it feels like you’re breathing in a full sauna when you step outside. You never cool off, you just learn to tolerate always being wet and wondering if it’s sweat or moisture in the air that condensed on your skin
I’m typing this from an inflatable pool in my back yard. The water bill is going to be outrageous but that’s a small price to pay to be able to go outside.
The water here comes out super cold from the hose too, that sounds like a fantastic way to keep cool!
How’s the humidity?
Houstonian here. Let’s just say I’m… moist.
In the winter months it’s humid. In the summer the Willamette Valley isn’t very humid. Currently it’s 46% humidity as I type this.
It’s mid 80s here right now and 100° so I don’t wanna hear it lmao
Today the high was 67 and it will top out in the low 80s through the next week.
Na I can barely handle the light purple areas. I’d rather not die.
People do die
My wife when I show her this:
after that snowcrete we had here in the midlantic, I swore I’d never complain about the heat again. It’s tough, but I’m holding to my promise. (It’s only 98 out so far.)
Is snowcrete melted+refrozen snow?
It snowed a few inches, then sleeted on top of it for hours. The sleet caused the snow to compact, and by the time it was done, a shovelful of the stuff weighed 50 pounds. People were breaking it up with metal shovels and building igloos out of it. Big highway plows on dumptrucks were riding right over the top of it. The only way to move it was with those little skid steer things with shovels on the front. Even they would get jammed up under it and their front wheels would come off the ground.
Cities dug the stuff up and put it in dumptrucks and took it to places like the parking lots of sports arenas and piled it three and four stories high, and it didn’t completely melt until, like, May. I forget where it was, maybe Baltimore, where the snow/ice pile was so heavy it cracked the surface of the parking lot it was piled on.
Someone remarked that his yard looked like the Shackleton Expedition.

Oh, and this was in the midst of several days of overnight lows in the single digits and days in the teens.
I love snow!
