  • That’s a real winter where it’s enjoyable

    I have lived in areas where it’s -30 to -35 and 12+ inches of snow on the ground from November to may. Personally I did quite like it as well but it’s not to everyone’s taste. The first scenario I described is where I think the most people would enjoy it.



  • I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.

    When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year

    But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.


  • Autumn is better than spring.

    Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn’t warmed up enough, so it’s always cold and damp.

    In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you’re good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.


  • Its infuriating when I see labels other than “made in”

    Things like designed in, packaged in, assembled in etc.

    Sure, include those in addition to the made in label but don’t replace it.

    If 90% of the item is imported from another country, say that country.

    Any country involved in over 10% of the items production should be listed on the packaging in my opinion.

    “Designed in America, assembled and packaged in Taiwan, produced using components from mexico, Brazil, Australia”

    For example.
