Sun or Snow?

    Which do you prefer?


    The way I see it, it's:

    Blanket of snow vs Golden sunshine
    Warm Roast Dinner by the fire vs BBQ
    Freezing Bollocks vs Sticky, sweaty bollocks
    Snowball fights vs Waterpistol/balloon fights

    It's absolutely scorching here (Brum was the hottest place in Europe yesterday, and it's hotter today :cool:). The problem was though, my armpits decided to sweat like a pig in a gangbang, dying my tshirt underarms from light grey to dark.
    And obviously women show a tiny bit more flesh in the sun, but so do (far more) middle-aged/old fat men.

    So at the moment, I prefer the snow. But what about everyone else?

    Snow!! Bring on the Winter. I hate the sticky humid heat of summer.

    The sun always brings out the worst in me. Heat gets on your nerves big time.

    Even though I burn to a shaggin crisp in the sun (and sometimes when it's not even that sunny!!!), I love the heat and so on. I don't mind it, cos I use a brilliant anti-perspirant and I wear a lot of breathable soccer/rugby jerseys, so it's all good!!!

    Jase at least when it's sunny you're able to leave the feckin house instead of been there for ages with icy roads and frozen water pipes!

    I was goin stir crazy stuck in the house all winter!

    After the hell of being housebound in Wicklow during the snow in January, there's only one possible answer for me!

    Plus I like boobs. Sun brings out the boobs. Therefore, sun=awesome. If only all equations were so simple :D

    Dislike snow. Cold, makes everything wet, would rather the sun any day of the year, especially those days in the summertime


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    I'm not built for the heat. Thank god for talcum powder!

    Spain Sun. Switzerland Snow. That's the way I like it.

    Sun preferably, but I don't mind once it's not raining

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I can't handle heat. I'm really pale so I burn ridiculously quickly and I find anything beyond 20 degrees Celsius to be uncomfortably hot.

    On the other hand, I love snow as long as the footpaths/roads aren't too icy.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I can't actually decide...warmth is just great sometimes but I suppose I get more excited if it's snowy. heh heh



    wooo snow angels

    I love the sun and summer but I have a heat allergy so I get the most god awful rashes on my feet, legs and hands if I'm not careful. :(

    Weather people are saying that the sun and heat should be gone by Monday. :(

    Not a big fan of too much heat but it beats the shít out of stupid snow :mad:

    Sun all day.

    Going around in shorts and a t-shirt, driving around with all the windows/roof down, touch up the tan, BBQ and a few bottles in the in the afternoon and a Champions League final in a beer garden later.

    The sun gets everyone in a good mood.

    As we usually geit neither, I prefer both :D

    No competition. Sun all the way.

    I wouldn't care if it was never Winter again.

    I hate Winter.

    I hate the cold. Screws me up. Snow is nice and all, but I'd take hot weather anyday

    I voted cold for two reasons; 1. We northern Europeans are not built for persistent warm weather and 2. I was seriously burnt today and will no doubt have a blister on my neck later the size of my head confirming point #1

    *Looks forward to passing Kidney stones*

    I want them both, is that really so much to ask?

    I can't choose. I like both equally.
    Both sun and snow have their advantages and disadvantages.

    When is this global warming going to become permanent here, i'd like it to be warm like today all the time.

    Easily the Sun. Snow gets boring very quick. City would be at a standstill.....again :mad:

    Global warming was cancelled, sumfink to do with we have to call it climate change now....:confused:

    Anyway the upshot if it is we're not getting the promised hotter weather even though we used as many aerosols as possible.

    It's most unfair


    In fact I'm quite sure it's false advertising. :mad:

    My windows are wide open tonight and its still fooking hot. My laptop's cooling fan cant cope. I just realised its so much easier to stay warm at night than it is to cool down. I miss the winter:(

    As fun as the snow was this year when it was around, having no water for 3 weeks when I went back to college and driving anywhere taking 3 times longer than usual makes it an easy enough decision for me!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    I lived in Canada -53 with a windchill for months on end and i loved it, also lived in Aus +36 heat, i prefer the cold any day of the week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    I'd prefer living in a land of fire and ice.

    Failing that, would prefer the ice and cold. Everything looks cleaner with it.

    Fantasy? Naaaaa...I'm talking about Iceland....the store that is. I often go into the walk-in freezer with a can of petrol, lighter/matches and go creative.

    Here's a pic.

    I chose snow in that but I'm a bit torn. Can't stand the sun, the heat is bad enough and then my pale skin but I have really sensitive eyes so the sun drives me mad, but then snow is very bright and that drives me mad too :pac:

    I find the sun so tiring, it's so hard to study etc but then it's also very hard to work in the cold with trying to keep warm.

    I'd pick duller weather over the sun but neither of those options are ideal.

    I prefer it to be dull but not windy and warm but that rarely happens. So maybe autumn evenings or summer nights.

    Snow any day, at least I can get some sleep when it's cold

    im a the biggest child ever when it comes to snow :D
    i work during summer so i never really get much time in the sun so dont care for it much. but with snow - you can go out and have snowball fights ect and then go cosy up in your pj's and fluffy socks infront of the fire with your book/laptop - its great! When its warm your never that comfortable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭Cook!eMonster


    give me sun anyday, im sitting out my back garden on myh sisters trampoline in the sun :) have to appreciate all the hot weather we get :)

    Sun, by a long stretch. Snow is cool for two days, then it's boring.
    How hot was it in Brum yesterday? Yahoo says it was only about 24 degrees. Hardly a heatwave!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    I'm on the internet at 6 o'clock on a Saturday - do you think I care about the outside world?
    Sun, definately.
    Snow is fun for a while, but then it's annoying when your feet get soaked when you're walking anywhere and driving takes so long.

    I'm on the internet at 6 o'clock on a Saturday - do you think I care about the outside world?
    I can't stand snow. It's just... ugh, cold and messy and it makes driving conditions difficult. I hate snow so much. So sun, I'm always much happier when it's sunny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    I'm on the internet at 6 o'clock on a Saturday - do you think I care about the outside world?
    Hate hate hate the humidity, it just turns my brain to mush, but the conditions over the most recent Winter really made me hate the snow and ice too (and I didn't have it nearly half as bad as plenty of others!)...
    So, although I've always favoured Autumn, then Spring, over Summer or Winter, I guess I'll choose Summer because it stays bright for longer, which is nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    The two best times of the year are early summer when the proper heat is starting to break through, it's still a novelty and people are just happy to see it and haven't started to feel properly stifled and sick of it yet, and early winter, about mid November when the air develops that beautiful crisp dryness and everything seems beautifully defined and delicate. So I'm pretty happy now, but will be as happy then, when evenings shorten and everything is beautiful and brittle.
