The best part about winter, is that it's nice inside. In summer, it can get to a point where it isn't even nice inside anymore.

But also all the downsides of winter outside can be mitigated and navigated. The downsides of summer outside can't be.

There are humans that hang out outside at -70C all day. For all you F users, that is -94F. The coldest winter ever gets where I am is -40C(also -40F for F people), it's usually only about -20C(-4F) on an average cold day in winter.

If you are too cold in winter, you aren't dressed right. There are options available that you haven't taken.

But what about the darkness? How do you mitigate the fact that it's pitch black so early in the day?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Darkness doesn't bother me. I like to go for walks at 3 am in summer, seeking out the times when it's still at least a bit dark.
