Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it’s getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it’s just still dark and by the end of November it’ll be pitch black anyway.

    Winter? Nah. Love it for many of the reasons already being stated.

    But the fake as fuck holiday season that comes with it? Done with it. I’m celebrating Festivus unironically this year. Done with the rest of that shit.

          I think the confusion is that you seem not to like what is presumably Christmas because you perceive it to be fake but Festivus, is literally, actually, fake since it comes from a plot of a TV series from the 90s and has only been celebrated by a broader range of people since as a fun tribute to that series. You could argue that the fact that people really celebrate it means it necessarily can’t be fake, but then by that logic…

    My 2,5yo has been refusing to sleep earlier than 21:00 on the dot for months now so I’m hoping winter time will finally get us back to a somewhat sane schedule. So far it’s working, she just fell asleep at 19:30.

    Moving towards the equator made me hate winter a lot less. Having more consistent daylight throughout the year made a big difference for me.

    Average winter enjoyer here, just chiming in to say “fuck summer!” We may be few in number, but we are large in spirit.

    The best part about winter is staying inside, Christmas, Christmas baking, and New Year’s/New Year’s Eve. Otherwise it’s miserable for me because I really dislike the cold.

    It doesn’t help that last winter my area was getting below zero (F°) weather, which I can never recall having to deal with much before. Calling that miserable is an understatement.

    The only other good thing about winter I can think of is getting a god damn peppermint patty (hot chocolate w/ peppermint schnapps). Otherwise, absolutely no other reasons for me to like it.

    Yep! It’s cold, damp, and dark and it goes on too long. Having to shovel snow is also awful. 0/10, do not recommend. I much prefer spring and summer.

    No light is not natural for humans… I feel like I’m missing out on life for four-five months every year. November to March is awful.

      It will get dark at 15:30 for us in the winter assuming therebis any light at all with the continual rain cloud cover we have for West Coast winters

    The only thing I hate about Winter is not Winter’s fault, and it’s basically what you said:

    Work is somehow perfectly scheduled so that you’re inside, staring at a brick wall for 90-100% of the daylight hours for 5 out of every 7 days.

    Winter is beautiful in ways that are completely unlike the other seasons, but unless you’re very fortunate you only get a few glimpses of it.

    I feel like if you were designing a society to make people suffer, that’s how you would do it.

      It’s a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.

      But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.
