    Weather feelings

    I hate winter. A fair position.

    Your weather right now

    Looking out of your window…

    Live from OpenWeatherMap.

    Plenty of people hate winter: dark by five, cold cars, ice on the windscreen, coats with too many zips. Here is the case against it, how far the US goes in both directions, and a few lines for the long months.

    The case against winter

    • Getting ready to go out takes three times longer and looks the same.
    • The car needs ten minutes of warming up before it agrees to anything.
    • Daylight turns up late and leaves early, like a bad houseguest.
    • Every surface is either salty, slippery or both.

    By the numbers

    The mildest winter we track is in Honolulu, where winter highs average about 81°F. The other end is Fairbanks, with winter highs around 6°F.

    What I think

    • Winter is just autumn that stopped making an effort.
    • I hate winter. Winter has heard this before and is staying until March anyway.
    • Winter: three months of the sky set to “do not disturb”.
    • Nobody hates winter in December. By February it is personal.
    • Winter is the season that turns every errand into an expedition.
    • The only good thing about winter is complaining about it, and it supplies plenty of material.
