Aw, let 'em have their ig'nint pride.

Love it.

I hate it more than anything else.

Glare ice on sidewalks or the road is a prime enemy.    This week, I'm on the losing end.  It's a bear to keep our house entrance safe.   Its time to break out the salt.

Love it.

I hate winter.  Grey skies, grey ground, brown trees, 8 hours of sunlight (which is, thanks to having travelled through 2 miles of constant cloud cover, also grey) at the most.  Who the smurf likes that depressing smurf?  I moved to Florida for a reason.  While our nonchanging weather can be a little boring, it's better than being depressed 8 months of the year.

What?  I was just providing a conversion for those that did not know how.

If you want to disagree with my preference for the non-Winter we have here at the beach in SoCal, that's fine.

Pretty much hate it.

A new fallen snow has its appeal, but it's usually short lived.

Shnicky made an interesting observation that winter is easier to like in a rural setting.
Having lived in both New Hampshire and NYC I'd be inclined to agree.

The odd thing is, that in NYC the average person spends more time out-of doors than their NH counterpart.

We had friends from NH pay us a visit a few winters ago. Even though they come from the snowier, colder North, they were unprepared for the amount of pedestrian activity that the New Yorker takes on.

I also hate the problem of bundling up to go outdoors, get to a destination that has it's heat on 75 degrees so I sweat like crazy only to go out again. Keeping track of hats/gloves/scarfs is something I'm slightly better at now than when I was 5.


Though I pretty much hate winter, I do do love the aforementioned new fallen snow. I also LOVE late winter/early spring snow melt. I always make a point of getting out to the country/mountains to tramp around the woods in mud season.

Snowmobile ==

I put over 20 miles on each of mine on Sunday alone.  That was just bumming around in the fields because the club in charge of the trails around here hasn't gotten the trails set up fully yet.

QFT!

minus 8 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?

does it really matter?  it's smurfing eight below!!!1!!one!!

in Celsius, it's just below freezing, and i believe 0ºC is equal to about 40ºF, therefore  0ºF is appx -40ºC, which is just almost bearable.

Umm, you got your conversions very mixed up there.

32F is 0 C which is the freezing point.
However they scale differently, only -40 C is -40 F, which is far from bareable. -8 C is around my favourite winter temperature.

(-8) degrees Celsius = 17.6 degrees Fahrenheit

I hate cold weather.  Snow included.  Nothing worse than being freezing and damp.  AHH

Bah, I say, bah!  Winter can lick my ass. 

I'd rather sweat with minimal amounts of clothing on than have to wear twenty pounds in clothing just to feel slightly warmer than the air outside.

NOPE!
