I’m never complaining about the cold. Only the hot. You can always add layers.

Respectfully disagree. Adding layers is limiting and my wrists are still cold.

You can take some of our heat. Australia. Breaking heat records everywhere.

Thanks for sharing. 😁 We can send some cool back. And a bit of rain, it’s nice to sleep to.

I saw it on the news, absolutely insane. You can have some of my Canadian winter cold as well.

Winter:

  • Cold, especially those days where it's windy and absolutetly baltic
  • Always dark, depressing
  • Constantly ill due to getting colds

Summer:

  • Too hot for about 3 weeks

I'll take summer, thanks!

I would much rather bitch about the heat than bitch about the cold.

You guys are nuts... you can do something about being cold - put on more clothing indoors, turn up the heating, etc.

When summer comes, there is nothing you can do short of buying an air conditioner.

Im cold and miserable, but am enjoying every moment of it whilst I still can!

I can't wait to switch my seasonal depression for regular depression.

I don't mind the cold.

It's the damp/wet

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

over here there will be a bit complaining about rain and mud usually. oh and of course construction.

[–] OogaBooga@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Naaah, i wish it got bit colder so outside didnt feel so damp. And layer of snow would lighten up a mood for sure, too gray.
