What's your favorite thing about cold weather
 
I don't know about you guys but I just love to wear jacket's and sweaters, not to mention my black leather trenchcoat. There is something magical about cold weather and it brings back a lot of good memories. I don't know if you have noticed but almost everything seems more enjoyable, I even think music sounds kind of different....

yeah i love gettin rugged up in winter weather,

Graveyard.Crow 11-04-2007 01:47 AM

I personally hate spring and summer. It is months of sweating like a pig, frying your skin, and tanning. I just don't have a very good tolerance towards the sun, and heat makes me generally angry.

So that's why I love the cold. But cuddling up to someone is nice too. It's always nice to be able to use the old "Oh I'm so cold, please hold me in your big strong arms" thing.

I don't have to de-fuzz my legs :D

Cyntrox 11-04-2007 01:24 AM

The snow! =D

disorder 11-04-2007 01:24 AM

It doesn't snow where I live :(

DeathToLems 11-04-2007 03:06 AM

I also love wrapping up warm. I just bought a long coat made from real wool (Core it was pricey though!).
Sitting in front of my log fire.
Snuggling up with the cat.
Breathing in the crisp air and then seeing your breath as you exhale.
Wearing fuzzy warm socks :D

Anarasha 11-04-2007 03:07 AM

The thing I love most about the cold.. Well... It would have to be the feeling of the cold, fresh air filling up my lungs.

mfiend1138 11-04-2007 05:24 AM

Black cardigan sweaters, hot coffee, my black Navy pea coat, big boots, Christmas lights (don't beat me), and walking around the neighborhood kicking leaves. All of which are typically difficult to enjoy in Oklahoma nine months out of the year.

Like Graveyard, I HATE heat. Cold weather gives me more reason to wear vinyl and leather. Plus I have this wicked jacket fetish, so I'm all good in Fall and Winter. Autumn FTW.

††BlackRose†† 11-04-2007 05:50 AM

I think that fall is my favorite season. I love winter because of the snow. It's sooo pretty!!! Also there's Christmas to look forward to in a sense... just a bit.

I think it's the time when I get to finally loose my sunburn. YAYYY!! Also there are no insects (i hate them) which is always a good thing!

Thank you winter!!!!

Underwater Ophelia 11-04-2007 06:44 AM

I love to see my breath.

xCuriosity_Killed_Herx 11-04-2007 06:46 AM

I like the super crystal clear nights... And how nice hugs feel when you're freezing.

badteccy 11-04-2007 06:56 AM

I love wearing hoodies and jackets, scarves, hats, and gloves.

Renatus 11-04-2007 07:17 AM

Never been a fan of the heat here either, unfortunately this is Wisconsin the state of extreme temperatures and extreme temperature swings.

honeythorn 11-04-2007 07:38 AM

I love the smell of cold air. It has a definite scent.

I love the smell of leaf mould/fallen leaves.

I LOVE fog! ( which seems to sometimes accompany cold weather here ) Lovelovelove it. I can swish around in my floor length velvet coat XD

I love frost! I like to see a good thick frost in the early morning, and I like making footprints in untouched patches :p

I am a massive fan of autumn/fall, as I adore crunching through dry fallen leaves, espescially when they are in big piles !

My fringe stays where it is supposed to be, as opposed to in summer when it sticks to my forehead and looks hideous.

I love snow. I just adore it when it first begins to fall in big flakes, like an Edward scissorhands moment ;)

I get to wear my black elbow length woollen gloves !

d.Nox 11-04-2007 08:18 AM

All of the above, plus, when you light candles on a chilly evening, they don't turn your room into a sauna.

I also love the way a heavy snowfall muffles all the sound. There's no solitude like walking at night, away from the streetlights, with the air thick and white.

Exactly. There is such a curious silence, and yet it isn't quite silent. You can almost hear the snow falling.

spoon! 11-04-2007 09:52 AM

Sweaters!

And the fact that I do like the gloomy overcast we get around here. There's something inspiring when it gets like that.

Rorschach Twin 11-04-2007 12:41 PM

I'd say not being hot.

L'Oiseau Noir 11-04-2007 01:46 PM

I despise the cold with a scathing passion.

I freeze really easily, and the fact my parents never raise the heater above sixty degrees is another reason, as it feels like a fucking meat locker in my house (there's little to no insulation, or so it feels; our walls are paper thin, I swear). That, and I hate having to get all bundled up, which means a bigger chance for me to miss the bus to school, as I'll be too busy getting ready!

And as I said before, the lack of heat--I hate being cold--and even in my house, it still feels like I'm outside. We don't even have a fireplace, so I usually end up bumming off of my friend Ryan's place during the winter months.

So, yeah, I hate it.

I also hate the cold because it's even harder to type since my fingers are so numb and feel like they're popsicles.

Nevan 11-05-2007 01:31 AM

Being outside for a while in crisp, sharp wind that makes your skin all cold and chills you to the bone, getting a runny nose, seeing your breath, your hands so cold you can hardly move your fingers...

And then coming inside from all of that, pouring yourself a glass of lovely Merlot or Pinotage and just soaking away in a steaming hot bath.

Yeah, that's my favourite thing about cold weather.

Clockwork 11-05-2007 11:54 AM

It's always so much quieter in the midst of winter. That crisp, pristine silence accompanying the foggy, lamplit mornings is something that makes just existing a peaceful and worthwhile experience.

Miss Cogs 11-05-2007 01:36 PM

I like the fact that it's not as brighter nor as hot, so I am not squinting or sweating. Also, as Clockwork said, it's much more peaceful.

DarkPrayer 11-05-2007 01:43 PM

Cold weather has something dark and romantic about it, but only when it's raining or snowing. I love misty weather too.

invaders_say_ni 11-05-2007 02:47 PM

In all honesty? It's because I love coats. My favourites are a dark blue floor length wool swing coat (yay antique shops!) and my velvet one...and, of course, I only get to wear them when it's cold. So bring on the snow! XD

BLEED REBELION!!! 11-05-2007 06:54 PM

I HATE THE COLD!!!!!!


I prefer to lay in the sun and soak up its heat YUM!

Christina_Death1334 11-06-2007 06:04 PM

My favorite things about the cold are getting to wear my black pea-coat, black furry Russian-hat, and my long velvet and lace gloves. And it's a nice excuse to cuddle with Patrick. <3 A very nice excuse. Not to mention the numbness you get. I love sitting outside half-nude letting the cold chill me.

drewsilla 11-08-2007 02:37 AM

Not a big winter-time fan. I just never seem to get warm in the winter! I do like snuggles with the hubby to get warm, though!! The crisp air of the fall is lovely, I'll have to admit.

If snow last longer than a day, then any love I had for it is gone. Lost that love in Germany, where when it snowed it stayed and stayed 'til it was a gray slush of yuck, and plowing through it with a stroller b/c you don't have your licence yet sucked big time.

Lapin 11-08-2007 02:57 PM

I like how cold feels; sharp and real. Heat is lazy, but cold is awake. It goes straight to your bones and reminds you that you can still feel.

I like hot chocolate on cold days, and the beautiful silence of snow. I like wearing a nice warm wool coat and my bright scarves. I like seeing my breath. I like being hugged in cold weather.

But I think I'd like being kissed better.

Crying_Crimson_Tears 11-08-2007 03:27 PM

Everything is wonderous about cold weather. I love the way it feels, the clothes I can wear, the dark evenings, the clear skies, snow, EVERYTHING!!!

:D

I can hold out a week, then I hate it too. Yay for global warming... ;)

le_revenant 11-11-2007 10:16 PM

The fact you can wear jackets, at last!
Back in the day (i.e. when I was still in public school & riding the bus from here to there) though I wore black I hated to do so in summer.
After an hour or two of repeated waits at a bus stop, walking from here to there in direct sunlight, I would start to get delirious from the heat. Nowadays my heart goes out to those who brave the sun, in PVC!
Black cotton anything (what I used to wear) is one thing.
PVC in the South Texas sun??

Makes one wonder what the melting point of PVC is?....

prophecyofdoom 11-11-2007 11:55 PM

Very cold air is soothing when you have a headache, and perks you up when you're groggy from sleep deprivation. I love the silence and beauty when everything is thickly blanketed in snow, the pristine lovliness of sunlight reflecting off bare trees encased in ice. I love trudging with friends through snow, bundled in hats and scarves and gloves and lots and lots of layers, and the sudden embrace of warmth when you finally come in from the cold. I like ice skating, Christmas decorations, the bustle of crowded shopping centers. I love thick, textured opaque tights, leg warmers, long gloves, and did I mention scarves?!! I love being nestled warm in bed while the room is chill and cold all around me. Especially when I'm not alone in the bed! :) I love Obsession perfume, which always seems most appropriate on snowy days(in the summertime I like fresh scents like FETISH)...I love all the memories inspired by the change of season, of all the fun winter times I've shared with friends, that mix of aching nostalgia and excitement for times to come.

PersephoneX 11-12-2007 02:53 AM

After many nights of ending up on the train station at 3am, falling asleep and losing all feeling in my toes, i have lost all love for the cold. The rain and mist are different. Being with Ferretkins through crappy weather is a perk.

Opteron_Man 11-12-2007 07:27 AM

i like drinking a of hot coffee, right after i come in stone cold.
i also like the smell of winter air. it smells crisp and clean.

I live in east Texas, so I can relate. Wearing black in the summer implies that you have a death wish. The cold suits my wardrobe far better.

Chazz 11-12-2007 04:07 PM

Yeah I hate summer and spring, sweating and being red faced is not my thing.

StasisInDarkness 11-13-2007 10:53 PM

Mmm late fall and early winter are almost certainly my favorite times of year.

And my favorite part is having an extra excuse to cuddle with my boyfriend.

Oh. And scarves.

And seeing your breath...One December morning, when I eight or so, I asked my mother if she could taste the ghosts as they spilled from her mouth. There's just something so intense about being able to literally see the life-giving biological function that otherwise often goes unnoticed.

~Angel_Of_Darkness~ 11-18-2007 08:56 PM

My favorite thing? Everything... Just... EVERYTHING. It doesn't snow here, but I LOVE thunderstorms.....

Corpsey 11-18-2007 08:59 PM

I quite like the fact that all blood-sucking animals are DEAD!!

But skiing & throwing snow down my sisters back and running away with my tail between my legs also appeals to me quite a lot...

alshio 11-18-2007 10:11 PM

I love the cold because I can wear long sleeves and that there are no flies.

Valrys 11-19-2007 09:41 AM

I love the cold, because its often misty and icy at the same time round here, and thats extremely beautiful imo.

I could sit and stare at it for hours. Plus I like being chilly infintately more than being too hot...yay for sugary tea and hot chocolate on winter days

Delkaetre 11-19-2007 10:31 AM

I don't like going outside.
I don't like getting wet
I don't like that I can't wear a nice little outfit for the club, as I'll freeze my t*ts off on the way there and back, but if I wear a warm, thick outfit, I'll boil to death when I get in and start dancing.
I don't like that I have to wait even longer for a bus because there are few services and the ones that are still on are delayed by bad weather- same for trains.
But!
I love love love sitting indoors in the warm, snuggled up beside S.O. in our big jumpers and comfy jeans, enjoying a mug of soup or hot chocolate or warm blackcurrant, watching Dr Who or maybe watching a big storm or snowfall outside with the knowledge it's safe and warm in here. I like being able to sit inside and watch the rain batter the windows and the wind shake the trees like toys while I sip my alcohol-infused hot drink and smile to myself.

silverbaal 11-19-2007 11:19 AM

I do like the feeling of burying myself beneath my blankets, and wearing four pairs of stockings and multiple sweaters. The warmth is so nice.

Opteron_Man 12-10-2007 06:35 AM

i like the dry, crisp, fresh smell. or maybe its the polution around here mixing with the cold air.

TearsOfSolitude 12-10-2007 08:23 AM

I do like snow. But that doesn't always come with it...

twisted_one 12-10-2007 12:02 PM

I HATE the cold...I think its cool how you look at the snow on the ground and you see the pretty crystals glitter in the moonlight.

wonderland 12-11-2007 08:31 AM

I actually hate being cold. It tends to make my hands shake, my fingertips turn blue, and I can't ever breathe properly.

But I DO love all of the little side effects to cold weather. Holding a hot cup of coffee and feeling my hands start to warm up. Pulling my sleeves down over my hands and nestling into a warm jacket. Layering clothes. Curling up under one of the blankets my great grandmother made with a book. Knitting chunky scarves and hats. Plus, my house always smells of cloves and cinnamon.
