It was about 18 degrees farenheit today and really cold. Yesterday, I had to go to a beach in New Jersey to take care of some business and as I walked the empty boardwalk, it was very very windy and with the wind chill factor, it must have easily been zero degrees!

I mean it was so devestatingly cold even my winter coat was not enough but I still loved the thrill of being such a forbidden area where it was empty. Ocean winter is fierce. The winter Atlantic Ocean is brutal. I think the cold weather helps me to bond with nature in a and silent mysterious way. Winter can be powerful. I like it.

So you like cold weather and you are ok with threads being deleted. Glad we got that cleared up.

As I get older, I HATE the cold. H-A-T-E!!! I now understand why old farts move to Florida and Phoenix.

Ribs has always thought a little too highly of himself and the things he says. I really do believe the man's rockin' the cheeba.

I don't like extreme cold or extreme heat. If I want to feel something, I'll just stick a pen in my thigh.

I understand but if properly dressed (which can be tough in extreme zones) the cold winter air can be refreshing as you slowly breath it in. You have to be in natural areas of isolation. It can have it's beautiful moments.

I love the cold! (I am 17) It didn't get above 24 farenheit today. We also have about 10'' of snow on the ground

. I love winter!

i don't mind cold temperatures. it's the wind that makes going out unbearable.

Definitely, I went for a run today on a snow covered trail. It can feel symbiotic when one is alone among such a stretching white scale. You feel your furnace and your muscles more too. Every action is magnified.

A little is okay but screw long winters.

In my country, its pretty much like 10 months summer and 2 months winter, that also, not very cold. The coldest temperature we had this year was around 41 Fahrenheit. So, scarcity of winter has led me to love it.

 

[Spareribs]

That's a good point. Long winters can be hard but when the winter is long and you look out into an empty bleak field there is that feeling of emptiness that's timeless. Sometimes I like that drone of winter.

I'm a winter person. Love the snow. This winter sucked. Hardly any snow at all.

I'll take rain over extreme cold any day - I loved living in west of the Cascades in Oregon. Never gets that cold and it is wet enough for everything to be green and lush.

High temperatures don't bother me, either. I actually prefer Arizona in the summer, when the heat runs off all the snowbirds and tourists. The evenings are sublime. You can hang all night next to a pool. It'll still be 85 out and the pool will be as warm if not warmer. It makes up for the blowtorch hot daytime.

I love rain too. It's a different emotion to me.

I love cold weather, but only temperature drops: I hate the wind chill. I can handle the -40 degree F temperatures of a Fairbanks winter just happily, but the -40 degree F temperatures with a wind chill dropping ambient down to -70 at work just kill...

I also love the rain. I hate extremely hot weather but I also hate extremely cold weather, especially if it's windy. Maybe that's why my favorite seasons are fall and spring. I do like the wintertime but sometimes the cold gets to me.

I don't mind extreme cold, extreme heat, heavy rain or snow, as long as it's not windy!
