Are you a summer person. or winter?

TheOtherBloke

What do you perfer? Summer or winter. I just went to put the rubbish out. and the bitter wind or lashing rain can make that task even more miserable. I just want summer to arrive already.. not to make my taking the rubbish out duties bareble. But I want to be enjoying the warmth witha nice cold pint.. or go out on the boat and do some fishing with the lads. Or enjoy those early evening bbq's. Ive heard people say they hate the heat.. and I must disagree. So what do you perfer? And why?

Summer by a mile! I just endure the winter. The only thing that keeps me going is thinking about the bright evenings. Love 'em

Summer! Deffo!

Summer all the way. My body just does not cope in cold weather which is over half the year.

Summer. I hate cold weather.

Venus In Furs

I like some aspects of winter - for instance the thought of Christmas in hot weather like in Australia does not appeal to me at all.
But overall I prefer summer. Weather doesn't have to be great - just not rainy, and the brightness until 10.30pm is fantastic.

Summer. I hate the winter and the miserable, dark evenings. I love heat too, although that's not something we get very often here.

The Strawman Argument

Love the peak of winter, from a farming background so I've been conditioned to feel an enormous sense of guilt when it's hot and sunny if I'm not helping to make hay and silage. Winter's far more peaceful.

Summer brings the lovely ladies in skirts and low cut tops.

Summer by far. Cant stand this cold dark time of year. You get up its dark. You come home from work its dark. Favourite time of the year though is late spring around Easter

Winter, oh god winter!

I love all my seasons equally. Well maybe not Autumn, we had a bit of a falling out.

Winter - the Christmas part

5starpool

Both seasons have lovely bottoms.

I like winter. I like its coziness. I like open fires and red wine and Christmas and wooly hats and boots and hot chocolate and hot whiskeys and jumper dresses and parties and cozy nights in and stew.

But summer has pretty dresses and fish and chips by the sea and barbecues and drinking ice cold beer outside and long walks and ice cream and picnics and day trips and long bright evenings and sunshiney mornings and heat on your skin and my birthday!

Summer wins.

Rothko

I've always preferred winter.

Cantremember

Spring. Always.

A_smurf

I like winter up to christmas, January always feels like the longest month ever. Saying that I think I prefer winter to summer! Summer is great with the long days and short nights, but it always feels like it rains more in the summer than it does in the winter.

Snow, getting all toasty and warm by the fire, snow, Cuddly hats and scarves, snow, bright crisp mornings, snow, yummy hot drinks, snow, yummy stews, snow, Christmas, snow, Christmas movies, snow, Christmas dinner and snow...I prefer summer.

Schnook

Summer!!!! The cold kills me.

Summer weather isn't that great.

Its Ireland, we are more of a the four seasons in one day people.

Richard Hillman

Love the winter. I am enjoying this one so far. Hopefully copious amounts of snow on the way

Agricola

Like both. The long days, some of which are actually warm and sunny are great. When we get a spell of good weather the whole country is a happier place. But the contrast of short, cold days, long nights, the fire etc has its own allure. Its great that we get both. I'd hate to live somewhere where it's one or the other 12 months of the year.

I don't have a favourite season, just as long as there is no lashing rain I'm happy.

I like the crisp air on winter mornings but by december the novelty of that wears off and winter makes me depressed.Im happiest from April to the end of September.

Spring. I love seen gardens waking up, fresh leaves on the trees and bulbs starting to stick their heads above ground. I love it more than most things.

AulBiddy

I love winter. Sitting inside while it lashes rain, putting up the Christmas tree, having the fire on, slipper socks , walks first thing on a.cold sunny morning , big jumpers, staying inside all day , nice food, good telly... the list does on

^^^ this for me too

Andrewf20

Summer for me but winter has a certain beauty especially if hoofing around the mountains. Wrap up well, go a hike in winter. Glorious. +1 also for the chilling inside with the fire, hob nobs and tea while its a coldfest outside.

Most depressing month is February for me. At that stage, im sick to death of the cold and wet. I am supposed to feel optimism for the Spring but its still freezing and will be until mid April.

coolemon

I like winter (as a season).

But the "culture" of winter - of Christmas, New Years, shopping and being bombarded by ads etc. - makes me somewhat depressed around this time.

I would like to experience a winter without this 'artificial' culture. Historically the cold weather naturally brought people together - Sitting around a fire for warmth and making meals from food stores.

Perhaps a pagan winter would be nicer. But I don't know much about that, culturally.

catallus

If one lived in Ecuador it would be summer all the time. But then it does get dark at 6 o'clock, so there's that to consider aswell.

boobar

Summer..is great for getting out on the bike and time off from work.

Winter....is great for taking a break from the bike and time off from work.

jonnny68

summer definitely, id so away with winter if i could.

The cold can make winters hard enough without the financial pressures of Christmas.

I have no problem with the religious part of it but the constant pressure on everyone to spend spend spend is depressing as you say.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

There's things I like about both. The first six months or so of winter are usually grand, after that it does start to drag a bit.

Radio Freak

I really dislike the materialism of christmas which is celebrated in Wintertime. Irish people are now really taking the piss out of of this tradition. When I was growing up people went to mass and started celebrating Christmas after 8th December. I love the cold frosty mornings when you can head out for a run all wrapped up.

tomwaterford

the summer....only in the good weather....long hot days....bright,everything is brill

the winter is pure miserable...cold,windy etc




*though a bad cold wet summer is by far the worst

Awkward Customer

I prefer Winter even though I know it means that I'll be freezing my ass off at home as its impossible to heat my house that was built in the 30's, it just means wrapping myself in layers and blankets. Not as bad as Summer though, trying to cool down is impossible and the Suns plays havoc with my eyes and then there's the sunburn.

anncoates

I really like the winter but nothing beats the long summer evenings.

TheBeardedLady

Winter in Ireland, Summer in Spain. That'd be the ideal. Although we've lovely, blue skies here in Winter that are great to walk out into first thing in the morning and it never gets that cold, they don't do cosiness. No fires as everyone lives in a flat and flats, bars and restaurants are built for heat as it's warm 7 months of the year here, so they don't have that dimly-lit snuggly feeling Irish pubs and homes have. And you've no excuse to sit in all day because it rarely rains so you have this constant niggling guilt in your mind to "make the most of your day" bollocks. Luckily it doesn't last very long here.


I'll be happy to get home on Saturday.:)

Woshy

Winter for me - I like the cold and by nature, am an indoor, homely person so I like cold weather and being cosy indoors and doing lazy things like watching tv, playing computer games etc. I've no problem with it getting dark early or anything like that.

I like going for walks in the cold as well, nothing beats a crisp, clear but cold day. I love snow too and like to ski so winter gets a thumbs up all round from me!

chocaholic04

My favourite season is winter, I hate the heat of summer (when we get it). Nothing better than a cosy fire, fluffy pjs and a blanket while freezing cold and rain outside. Love walking on a cold frosty morning too.

If it's too cold outside, you can always warm up by putting on extra layers or running. If it's too hot outside it's harder to keep yourself cool and having to keep sun lotion handy, also harder to sleep at night in the summer heatwave.

Samsgirl

Winter for sure. Summer in Ireland is crap. The days are way too humid & sticky, also the nights are too. Impossible to get to sleep, children are over heated, over tired & irritable.
