I freaking love winter, when its the way it is today. Plenty of snow. This year hasn't even been that bad at all.

AGREED!

No matter how hot it gets, it's always better than being a little bit cold. I love feeling hot. MMMmmmm.

I was enjoying the winter we were having until we were getting retardedly cold winds and now this winter storm. My mom got in a car accident yesterday b/c it was so slippery She's okay though thank God!

But yes. Winter = shitty. Hot hot hot weather > Winter

The part I hate about winter is that you have to work hard to go out.
Shirt, sweaters, jackets, caps, gloves, shoes, socks, jeans....bla bla..

Summer = shirt, shorts, sandals. Peace, love, harmony.

I HATE SNOW AND THE COLD!!!!!

Same with my boyfriends parents. Staying on the Big Island for 5 days then doing a Hawaiian Cruise for 7 days....soooooooo freakin jealous!!

I do not like driving in the winter or going outside, and I despise the cold. But as werid as it sound to me I almost get a nostalgic feeling when it's snowing like crazy out, and I'm inside cuddled up in a blanket watching tv, and you can see the snow falling by the street light.

I like snow but I don't like the cold. Oh well, deal with it you bunch of pansies.

hoepfully we get a lot more snow in the next month or so, but less wind. wind ruins all the fun. i love winter and colder temps. summer is gross. all sweaty and shit. ew.

exactly,
so what if its cold bundle up and enjoy beautiful snow covered crap its only 5 months then we'll be back to the disgusting,
hard to breathe muggy summers we have been getting the past few years.

Gotta love those smogfilled days/weeks, i can wait for summer.

desidel in 3..2..1....

I could deal with the snow if it wasn't for the cold.
That is what I don't like about winter is the temperature.

I just spent an hour shovelling my driveway, which fits only 4 vehicles. Fuck that noise.

I can't say that I like anything about this weather. Most of the time it makes me feel like I want crawl down a whole and stay there until April or May. Really I feel like a different person and trying to fight it takes a lot out of me. It is weird describing it to people who are not experiencing the same in the winter. I guess you can compare it what it would feel like if something bad happened to you on most days or you had a problem that you continuously cannot resolve. You would feel down right? Except in my case the issue is the weather.
The way I feel about the weather has nothing to do how I feel about this country or the city because I absolutely love Toronto and Canada and everything they stand for. For me it is absolutely a blast to live here from April/May until about September/October. Toronto would be an ideal place if it had a slightly different climate.
I have not always felt like this about winters. I grew up in a country that has 4 seasons and had fun in the snow as a kind. I have noticed though that is has been progressively worse. Every winter it gets more difficult.
It looks like I might be due for another move. I would hate to leave however if becomes a health issue I don't think I will have a choice.

Yes, i'll be doing that shortly, my driveway is roughly the size of a basketball court, but a bit narrower.

You need new shovelling techniques, or a snowblower. It should take more than 20 mins with a shovel, 10 with a snowblower. I'm a shovelling machine, used to do it as a job in my neighbourhood when I was younger.

^ gotta love living in an apartment, shovel? what's that?

And endless_summer (appropriate name by the way,) you are experiencing what is known as SAD, or otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. I experience mild symptoms of SAD, but I don't think it is that serious right now. It can progressively get worse as you age. I know that when I am older, I have 100% intention to leave this country and move to one where the climate is warmer. I thrive in the warmth, and am overall FAR MORE happy. You can see it even in photos. A picture of me in the winter vs. summer is like night and day.

Anyway, you may want to consider light therapy. A big reason why people get SAD is because of a lack of vitamin D that we attain by UV ray exposure. Not being outside as often, and not having a lot of daylight = serious drop in exposure to vitamin D = SAD.

Here is a website that explains a little more of it.

To be honest, it hasn't been a bad winter. I am not used to winters in Toronto, but this is definitely nothing compared to up north. And all the snow makes it look really beautiful outside.

+1, nothing compared to up north

Take vitamin D supplements. Problem solved.

A lack of vitamin D is only part of the problem.


What causes Seasonal Affective Disorder?

No one knows for sure what causes SAD but researchers believe it may have to do with;

* Fewer daylight hours may reduce important mood altering chemicals in the brain;
* Hormonal disruption (cortisol, thyroid)
* Reduced retinal sensitivity to light,
* Low winter temperatures may trigger the body to rest and disrupt circadian rhythms;
* Barometric pressure and precipitant levels,
* Psychological mechanisms and personality traits may all be contributing factors.

Ahahaha @ SAD

I always knew scientists had a sense of humor lurking there somewhere.
