Been forecasted a cold blast on the way and a harsh winter. I actually like cold weather even though I lose days of work. As a kid I was out in the snow playing football etc, and as an adult like walking in icy conditions and getting outside when possible. But many hate winter, and hibernate. So are you looking forward to it, or hiding away ?

By the time winter comes around I'm ready for it and quite look forward to it but by the end of February I'm looking forward to warmer weather and brighter nights so the seasons work out OK for me.

Loved it as a kid, hate it as an adult if I have to get to work, kid to nursery etc!
If everything’s closed and we’re all at home I’m fine with it!

As you get older you get to be more of a pussy.

Spring and autumn for me now. Summer's too hot and winter's too cold.

If I could regulate the temperature of the world, I would set the themostat for a static 19°.

I think it’s more of a case of you have more responsibilities

We grew up with harsh winters if you recall ? It was the norm. Things carried on as normal, but now it's a crisis when the temperature drops and we get 2 inches of snow !

Winter is fine. Been to Russia when - 15 and it’s great

I’d prefer dry cold sharp winters to the normal sludge and damp we get here anyway

I was in Mexico in August. Roasted my bollocks off and as nice as it was there's nothing like breathing in ice cold air of a frosty morn.

As someone previously said, each season gets boring after a while. A change is welcomed.

You haven’t experienced winter until you’ve played (American) football in the snow

Toronto's great, I go once a year to see a customer at their HO just outside Toronto.

I lose more weight in winter so it’s fine with me.

But as Grendal says, give me a sharp cold winter over darkness and drizzle any day.

I don't mind it being cold. It's the ice and snow that does my head in.

Last few years have had the odd days where there isn't much chance of getting anywhere in the car safely

I think cold and ice and snow pretty much go together don't they?

Freezing cold clear sunny mornings in the winter are brilliant.

Don't like the winter but it helps you appreciate the summer more. It's the dark and wet more than the cold that gets to me though.

I prefer warmer climates, a good 25 degrees all year would be perfect.

Just a nice t shirt and short 20 would do. Don't want to over do it

You might not get snow, but you'll get ice if it's freezing.

I don't mind the cold if the sun is shining.

Been to Denver twice and they get 300 days of sunshine a year, so even if it's zero or minus 1 or 2, it's still warm in the sun.

Used to love that there.

I must be in the minority, I hate the long dark winter months.........but then I do get a few hereditary joint issues flare up when its colder, so can suffer a bit of pain. Love the Spring when everything is coming back to life and September can be a lovely month too but I'd take long sunny days over cold dark ones thanks.

Yeah, good point. Forgot about that. I get a touch of arthritis in my right knee and in my fingers in cold and wet weather, so you can stuff your crisp winter mornings up your arse.
