The thing I dislike the most is not directly the cold, but it is the feeling that nobody is outside just for the sake of it and nobody is enjoying it. Like, when summer comes everything feels alive. Not just the nature but people, hiking, walking, doing picnics, hanging our, eating ice cream etc. People outside look like they're enjoying life. But during winter? Fuck no. And everyone looks the same, oh look 10 people in thick as balls black / grey / dark winter coats who look like round blobs. A bit of a hyperbole but that's how I always feel like.
And the darkness sucks. Fun to go to down when it is pitch black and it is again pitch black when you get back home.
this isn't an inherent winter problem, but something we have to design our environments to encourage.
it's perfectly normal to go on a winter walk just because it's enjoyable here, and i highly doubt people would be choosing to walk as much as they are if they didn't find that to be the most enjoyable option, considering that we have good public transport in the town.
