Do you know how depressing it is to only experience the sun while at work and not outside of it in the winter?

    Especially those times of year where you're in the office before the sun rises, and leave after it sets. Oh, and you work in a windowless room.

    I think that most winter lovers/summer haters live fairly south (like, not in areas north enough for taiga or tundra) and have never experienced a real winter. Come back to me when you have spent 5 months with only a few hours of sunlight, streets slippery as hell, barely any vegetation or animals, and being cold as hell.

    I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I've also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.

    Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It's currently 62F in Anchorage and while it's bearable, it's bordering on becoming miserable.

    Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in on.

    That sounds so amazing. Air temperature outside my car driving back from the store was 114F a few minutes ago. You can't go outside, you can't get fresh air into your house, and the a/c runs full blast 24/7 just to hit 72F inside, until the power grid fails, again, because it's more profitable to not properly maintain the equipment. I need to get out of here. Texas sucks.

    Omg we are such opposites. I grew up in FL and 60sF (15C) is winter for us. Like people will straight up wear jackets in the 60s. I love weather in the 80sF (26C), 90sF (32C) is bearable, but 100sF (37C) is horrible and stay inside as much as possible.

    Nah, I know Finnish people who like winter and their winters are hard core.

    As someone who works all day, commutes, and then has to sleep, I don't understand this viewpoint.

    What am I going to do with extra daylight after work? I'm still just going home and then to bed. It's not like I'm taking an excursion to the lake at 8pm when I've got to be up at 5am to get ready for work.
