Hate summer, and everyone who iikes it is just a plain idiot..see @joesixpack? I’m right there with you. This next week is going to be awful. I have relatives who are in school as students and as teachers. Most schools in upstate NY are built for winter, not summer. The students and teachers will be on the verge of fainting until this heat wave breaks on Thursday or Friday.
Fadingpain Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Summer vs. Winter is about so much more than simple ambient air temperature. Winter creates hard work in a way summer does not (snow shoveling or snow blowing or plowing). Winter often means you can't do what you wanted to do (can't drive to x b/c roads are horrible and we're expecting 5 inches of snow). Winter means everything around you is dead, gray, lifeless, and there aren't even any smells outside or birds singing. Winter means wearing layers of clothing, long pants, socks all the time...my knees and lips are always chafed, chapped, and dry. Summer means everything is green and alive, fresh grass/earth/plant smells are everywhere, birds sing away...and a heat wave never piles up 2 feet of snow at the base of your driveway at 5:00am that you now have to remove before you can drive somewhere. In summer you can get away with wearing minimal clothing and it just feels so much more comfortable and natural to me to be wearing shorts, bare foot, and a t-shirt or no shirt at all if I'm home. Winter means short days and lots of darkness. Summer means very long days and lots of light. I can go on. As to how anyone would choose cold climate over warm climate....I have no idea. I'm living in S. FL. these days and it is some degree of "summer" 12 months a year. It's f-ing incredible, at least from a weather perspective. 1

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Snow shoveling > Mowing, grass, yardwork I'd take snow shoveling any day... Relaxing if done properly, take your time. Heck, I do the neighbors on both sides... Don't have a snow blower either... Then when we do get dumped on, they have the snow blowers... I clean, edge and make neat... 95% just prefer shovel... I can do it at all hours of night and don't wake the neighborhood! Shoveling does a better job. Snow removal way better than yardwork!!!! Edited September 4, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois

Reminded me of a former neighbor I used to have. She lived alone and was widowed. She had a small driveway so Id usually try and shovel it for her with my dad in snow storms. The lady couldn’t physically do it. She gave us a little money but as reward would make the best stuffed peppers & cabbage I’ve ever eaten in my life. Coulda been rich if she sold her recipe Edited September 4, 2018 by Another Fan 1 1

If you really mean everything you wrote, you're mentally ill. Even @ work I prefer snow removal, plowing, etc... Lawn maintenance is the worst, weed eating, mowing on a tractor...etc... Don't get me wrong... When there is no work to be done, I like the nice weather! BUT, when there is work to be done... I wish it was 25° & 10 feet of snow! I hate doing yardwork vs. snow removal.

People were coming to blows because we had 9 days in a row of measureable snow... 9! LMAO... I was like: "Settle down people, just over a week of snow. LoL..." Again... If I am gonna do work... It's in the cold. I become lazy in the heat... A do nothing... I let my lawn go for a month in the summer... Or more. Now, in winter, I am out there catching every flake while the lazy people are making it hard on themselves even more, complaining, trudging through, getting stuck... Getting out in the snow, early and often makes life easier in long run... Makes, sets up next snow removal job to go easier... Is practical and has a purpose... It gets people from Point A to Point B without an issue. Grass? It's just aesthetics until it needs to be cut for other reasons. Work smart, not hard. Yes... I am mentally ill! LMAO... It's 90° today and I slept till Noon... A/C blasting 73° in here... I dread stepping out side two feet from The Sun! Shades/blinds all pulled down, ceiling fans going... Make it a cave!

Always help the neighbors first (when time permits) and work back to your house. Winter is no time to get fat. Heat... I hate to eat in heat anyway! Who eats in the heat!

You can either wait during a snow event... Or get your lazy arse out there ASAP... And make it easier on yourself in the future... OR: You can be like a lazy Southerner and say: "God giveth, God taketh!" But in Siberia in December, The Sun doesn't get over the house... If You don't get your lazy arse out, you'll be needing iceskates & crampons for your driveway till March! And at 50... I don't want to skate going to my car every day till God takeths! ? Anyway... I gotta get my lazy azz up and pretend I was doing something in this heat! Before the Bossman (wife) gets home and whoops my butt! ?
