Winter is coming

[noxious.sunshine]

I miss ghetto sledding. My dad made this uber killer sled out of a hard plastic sign - he bent one end in his big ole machine thing he had in our garage and then drilled holes and hooked up a tarp strap for the handle. That junk was -baller- .

Also, I kind of hate Christmas. It's always really really depressing for me cuz I never know if it really -will- be my dad's last one. But having them together with my lil girl is always so much fun. My dad is totally in love with her. It's so cute.

annnnd running around in an oversized hoodie with maybe a winter vest on top and flip flops. Or my fake Uggs tht're worn out through the soles. I'm also a sucker for awesome coats, but I always find them too restraining for my taste. I like to have free movement of my arms.

Coldest I've experienced was 8 C when I was around 8 years old and were in one of the cities on top of a mountain. I thought my toes were gonna fall off.

Coldest I've experienced was -40. I just bundled up and toughed it out for a few days. It was when I was in uni so I spent a lot of time walking around campus. I survived!

-40 is exactly the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit so inb4 any whining.

Autumn is where it is at:

It's not light until 3am.
Every tree is a cool colour, not that dumb green stuff.
Clocks go backwards so we sleep more.

Winter in comparison isn't as bad, but not quite as cooooooooooooooool as Autumn.

[Pike]

Yeah, Autumn is my fave. Too short though Wedged right between the looooong Montana summer and the even looooooooooonger Montana winter.

[Dat Matt]

Scotland is kinds good for that, cause we have from August-November for autumn. Our winters last till march-april though.

[Pike]

Where I am it's like:

Spring: ...a couple of weeks in late May, maybe?
Summer: June - Late September/Early October
Autumn: A couple of weeks in October? Maybe?
Winter: Late October - Early May

Everyone knows -40 is the same in both. I've experienced -50C before when walking to my bus stop and waiting 10-15 minutes for a bus. I had no hat, no gloves, and a coat that very much did not have a winter lining. It wasn't too bad. My mom told me flesh was supposed to freeze in just about 2 minutes but that very much did not happen.

Crazy temps. I don't think I can survive anything lower than 20 Celsius for a long period of time. That's some skin you've got there!

[Pike]

20 Celsius

I just looked this up and it's pretty warm to me. I much prefer cooler temperatures. I'd give examples but then it's going to turn into some sort of temperature scale debate and cba

I just don't understand how you expect to be a satisfactory robot without going metric Pike.

This is warm but in a country that doesn't have winter, this counts as winter temps. Haha. When I visit my relatives in the US next winter, I think I'll turn into a popsicle.

Winter is the best season in the UK/Ireland at least.

Fresh air.

Pretty coats.

Pretty scarves.

Tights.

Boots.

Always being able to just put an extra layer on.

Snow. (before it gets turned into Slush... also maybe not so much in Cork as they've never heard of grit either)

Christmas.

That awesome feeling in the morning when you wake up all toasty in bed, put your toes out, realise how cold it is and then enjoy that extra 5-10 minutes in bed.

[Mirage]

The air is just as fresh in summer! As long as you're not in the middle of a city.

And you can use most of those things in autumn anyway.

As long as you're not in the middle of a city.

That's the issue for me Pretty much always been in a city apart from the 4 years or so I lived in Great Yarmouth.
