    Just made a beef and chorizo casserole, and a lamb and winter veg stew, and butternut squash soup for the week. Winter food is awesome.

    What time you want us over at?

    I hate the summer with a passion - even Irish summers are too warm for me.

    .. Qué?

    Take long hot baths and long hot showers. Vit C,D and E. Wrap up..excercise eat healthily and don't get run down. If you feel you need to see your GP ..there is a lamp you can get for the SAD thing.

    Wear a nappy to bed so if nature calls during the night you won't have to endure the psychological and physical trauma of getting out if your warm bed and into the cold, unforgiving night.

    Living in a place where the winter is a helluva lot colder than Ireland. On the upside, had four or five months of wall to wall sunshine for the summer. Even though there'll be days when my snot will freeze as I'm walking, and the wind will cut through me for a shortcut, I still prefer it to the Irish cycle of Spring rain -April showers-Warm rain-Thunderstorms-Autumn rain-Hailstones-Sleet-Spring rain.

    As for survival, nothing like sitting indoors with a bottle of wine and a good box-set, or having a few pints of Guinness by an open fire. And remember, there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes

    What do you know of fear? Fear is for the winter, my little lord, when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods

    Some of us have health problems exacerbated by even moderate heat.

    There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. I love winter as much as summer and still go hiking, running in freezing cold and rain etc... but i'm very outdoors type and sporty. If i don't get it, I go mad. Plus sides the bad weather is really refreshing some times :-)

    Good to know I'm not alone.
    I absolutely hate the winter! ...but love christmas time!
    Pretty sure I don't have SAD too,

    I don't mind the cold that much.....i actually hate being too hot though, and my house is literally like a sauna every evening, :(

    The main thing that gets me is the weather, absolutely hate it when it's cold, windy & damp outside...don't mind it when it's lashing rain, just hate the average days

    Oh and not to mention the darkness, ...can't stand it being dark at 5pm!

    ...it's funny, winter time never usually bothered me, cause I used to be the stay-in kinda guy anyway...but I've become more active lately, and it's really starting to bug me, can't go outside at all, and gyms suck!
