Snow or sun?

I couldn't imagine life without snow too. Summer/fall 365 days a year would be to boring, winter is a perfect alternation. Thanks for answering!;)

I suppose if I had children I'd be more into the snow as they have so much fun in it don't they? There are some nasty kids in Mum's area though that throw snowballs at old people (my Dad being one of them). Why he hasn't rung the police about them I do not know. They even chuck snowballs at his window because they know he's in the front room in the mornings. Toe-rags!

Yea, children like to have fun in the snow. But some of them just can't have fun without disturbing or harming anyone.

I enjoy blue sky as much as you do. It makes me calm, makes me feel that everything is going fine and will be going fine, has a positive effect on my mood. I also agree, that killing hot is not good, I like temperature that allows me to stay outside without harm to my health. For me it's perfect when I can sunbathe and it's warm enough to go swimming. I also like to watch snow falling down, it gives such a mystical, kind of fairy-tale feeling. Thanks for sharing!;)

Umm, we have some -8C right now, but some week ago we had like -20 -25 degrees, so it was pretty frosty, I wasn't able to hang around for long time. It has been long time since a winter like that was around. About half of the winter has passed now, you'll have to wait for another half until spring, so take care and hold on until then!;)

You are very welcome my friend. This cold weather snap we are having is slowly losing its appeal, despite the lovely blue sky during the day. Last night it got down to around -12 degrees C, the coldest night I have experienced since moving further north in 2005. Can't wait until Spring!

I like spring and autumn too (except long periods of rain in the autumn). Thanks for responding!:)

I like to swim too. We usually catch up with friends, take a little something to eat&drink with us and drive to the lake or river. We sunbathe there and swim, do stunt jumps and stuff. I feel sorry for your arthritis, I think it can be really annoying. I've heard that cold and humidity are bad for the bones. Thanks for sharing!:)

Warm air is good, I also like spring and summer. Sunny weather charges us with positive emotions and lifts our energy levels. And I agree, it's good suntan on the beach in summer! Thanks for responding!:)

Ah, it looks like your summer is more like our autumn. I generally don't like autumn, because it rains a lot and mud and dirt is everywhere, it's kind of sad time of the year. But sometimes there are incredibly beautiful autumn days, when shining sun and golden leaves on the trees make up a perfect view. Thanks for your answer!;)

I know what you mean about winter making us lazy. It certainly does that in my case, can't get motivated at all. Having said that, if it's too hot it has the same effect on me. Like I said in my initial discussion, warm (as opposed to hot) temperatures would be ideal for me...but it's never gonna happen in these parts, unfortunately.

I agree with you. It's good when there are four seasons throughout the year, it would be boring if there was only two of them, or if it was summer or winter all year long. I like every season in it's own way. Thanks for answering!:)

Yes, I like warm and dry weather more than cold one too. It doesn't mean that I can't stand the cold weather at all, it's just not so comfortable for me to stay outside for long time, when it's cold. Thanks for answering!;)

An interesting approach you have! Thanks for sharing!;)

I am sure you would like to have a part of winter fun. One more cool thing is to go to sauna and then jump into snow with no clothes on in winter. I don't know if you know what sauna is, so I'll explain a little bit. It's a popular way to relax here in Estonia and almost everywhere around Europe. Sauna is a small room. Inside the room there is a stove with rocks on it. When water is thrown at the rocks, it vaporizes and makes the air hot inside the room. It's very relaxing to cook yourself like that inside the sauna and then come out and jump into cold water or snow. It's very healthy. It's also good for the skin, as there is one more procedure you can do inside sauna: you take bunch of small birch branches and hit yourself with them. It is a kind of massage or something, giving you awesome feeling. Hope you have some kind of idea, about what sauna is (in case you didn't know it yet).

Yeah, you're right, there must be balance around us, otherwise things would mess up pretty hard. Thanks for responding!;)

Summer is definitely better, in case you want to spend the whole day outside. In winter this would be more problematic, as you lose lots of heat while being outside. But nevertheless both the winter and summer activities have their pros and cons. Thanks for responding!;)

I like sun too and I also agree, that snow can sometimes cause quite a stir in traffic. Thank you for your answer!(:

Oh yeah, having fun on the beach or cooking yourself under the sun is one of the best things about summer! Thanks for answering!;)

I think I kinda know what you think. I was missing snow too couple years ago, because we had two terrible winters in a row with only couple of snowy weeks, rest of the time it was raining and stuff. It was frustrating. But luckily, we do have perfect winter at the moment - there's plenty of snow and a strong frost. Thanks for your answer!;)

Ah, I see. Sometimes I like that gray, rainy weather too. But if it lasts for long time, it brings my mood down, so I can't tolerate it for a long time. I think I am kind of a person who couldn't live without snow, without winter. It would be just too weird. But that's me:D Thanks for responding!;)

Same with me: for me it's easier to get up when it's sunny. Even if I have to go to school and my mood is down, it's easier to wake up when the morning sun is shining through my window. Thanks for answer!;)
