Yeah as if.
Winter means muddy and wet and windy now. Snow? Only for 2 days, then it'll melt, making everything muddier.
Yay climate change! It's ruined winters.

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

This is why I moved to a colder area. I know it won't last, but I can enjoy it a bit longer.
Shortly after I moved here, I was waiting my turn in a barber shop and chatting with a stranger and told them the same. Their response: "wow, most people don't move to here for the weather.
More people should appreciate cold.
This USED to be a colder area. I live far enough north that it's going to be dark in less than an hour. It's 14:42 right now.
Interesting.
I'm in Finland, 61.5Β°N and it's just rain and sadness here
Lol, you still got snow?
You guys had snow at all?
Now the only place to search for funny snowman is onlineβ¦
Lol. What? I love winter. This fits my feelings for summer, though.
There are people who actually like winter.
So I've been told.
Proper cold winter with dry powdery snow is heaven on Earth.
Too warm, wet winter with sleet and ice and no snow sucks donkey balls.
I prefer winter too. See, in the summer, it's too hot, and there's only so many layers you can remove before you get the police called on you.
But in the winter? No matter how cold, you can always just add extra layers!
But then you enter a public building. The heat is cranked up to a thousand degrees. What are you gonna do, just always wear summer clothes underneath everything?
I figure, even if I didn't like the cold - and I do - for the most part, I'm probably only tolerating it from the car to whatever is the destination. That's generally a pretty short walk - often a lot less than a minute - and I know most public buildings are, as you said, a thousand degrees.
So during the winter I just wear long pants and short sleeves and endure whichever extreme wherever I must.
Ah, and here we have our answer. The winter lover is in fact guilty of the sin of driving a car. Likely an internal combustion. They don't have to actually live in and endure the winter; they simply zoom along our public roads at deadly speeds, safe and comfortable in their bourgeois death machine. For every degree Elohim lowers the temperature of the air, they simply belch out more blasphemous carbon, raped from the womb of the earth. And it is not their concern whether their sin attracts the ire of our Lord in the form of storms, droughts, floods, hurricanes, fires, no. The innocent will burn for this sinner's personal comfort and convenience.
I love the winter, yeah. I admit I don't walk in the snow much (though I did so two days ago), but I like being in and near it. I mostly don't walk in it because I have mild PTSD from breaking my ankle in some. I can't really walk far at all, with or without snow.
However, I moved across several states and hundreds of miles to experience more of it. The last few months I've been sleeping with the window open. Because I like the cold and I like hearing the snow fall.
I primarily, though not entirely, drive an EV.
Don't know what to tell you. I get that this comment might be in jest, but I really dislike it. I think I'm more mad at you than I have been with anyone else on lemmy. I almost considered swearing at you but it's probably not warranted.
Uh ... Hope you have a good day.
I hope you have a good day too. I left that comment because for a long time I've been asking "what would Jesus do", and I think he'd try to create a culture where judging car ownership is normalised. I'm glad you have an electric vehicle, and I hope it's an electric bicycle, because even electric cars release carcinogenic particulate matter, which is a sin, and serve to tear apart communities by encouraging urban sprawl. I live in a country with good public transit, and I believe the difference between my country and yours is culture. If we can export our culture to your people, your people will change their cities and stop upsetting the Lord so much with all the carbon.
I can't tell whether to believe you. What country is yours? Arabia?
I support things that support the climate, but if you're really trying to do that, you're not doing your cause a service. If you're just trolling, I've never understood the purpose of that anyway.
Look at it this way: Donald Trump is a clown. It would not diminish his credibility in the least if tomorrow he walked into the Oval Office wearing squeaky clown shoes. Yet, he has somehow become the vanguard of the return of fascism to the world, and some significant percentage of the United States, despite claiming to be followers of Christ, truly do worship him as a god. Furthermore, his coming has heralded the rise of innumerable fascist media figures, from Charlie Kirk to Elon Musk to Kanye West to Kyle Rittenhouse. In short, he has shifted the overton window. A clown did that.
It turns out, being a clown is a great way to shift the overton window. Clowns get attention. People remember them. And even while laughing at the ridiculous things they say, people become accustomed to the rhetoric. It ceases to shock, and that makes the suit-and-tie respectable fascists such as Peterson or Shapiro seem more reasonable by comparison. Do you know what things are today being said in government all over the world and earning hardly a blink, because Trump has said something far worse?
I believe Jesus Christ would approve of a strategy of using the same tactics, but instead of evil, turning them towards good. We have among us an Antichrist. It is now time for the coming of a Prophet.
I have now realized you are a troll taking advantage of my naivete. Thank you for the information. I still hope you have a good, if unsuccessful day, though.
I like winter. There are parts I don't enjoy like shoveling or cleaning my car off but things are quieter and cozier. Snow is beautiful, clothing has more pockets, you can breathe like a dragon, things are quieter.
It has 13Β°C today in December. What Winter? This is still Autumn. I miss the snow :(
its 7CELCIUS here in the west coast.
I like winter apart from the parking restrictions.
Winter is the time to wear layers and layers of your almost worn out and ugly clothes you bought but don't want anyone to know.
With a good jacket on top, you're ready for anything the winter can throw at you.
Come summer, throw out the most worn out ones and hide the ugly ones.
Rinse and repeat next winter.
Typing this at work with a long sleeve shirt with multiple holes but I have a quarter zip over it so Iβm all good. π
Only two weeks and the days will start getting longer again at least..
You're missing the stage between denial and anger, which is annual sick week, because I refuse to put on a sweater and then I shiver in the park for an entire Saturday and catch a cold.
Its 74 f over where I'm at. Fun times. Winters are quite hot but summer is very bad.
currently its 7C right now, or 47f, extremely cold right now. bad season for atopic dermatitis sufferers. 74f is quite warm.
Check out pismo beach right now. Its crazy 70+ with some parts in that area getting to 80. Kinda nearby but insane heat wave right now.
wow its been around 20 f around here, do you wish you got snow?
I haven't seen snow in over 20 years. And we had to drive an hour or so away haha. Its a blessing and a curse.
Acceptance looks pretty angry to me.
