"Being cold sucks too, but being hot is worse than being cold for the simple reason that it’s easier to put on a coat than to take off your skin."

Counterpoint: It's a lot more difficult to clear the inches and feet of Cold off the ground that make walking and driving hazardous.

Winter should be number one. Any season in which hot cocoa is a thing has to be number one.

I love music festivals but I hate summer. I'm honestly shocked some enterprising promoter hasn't realized how much profit potential there is in having a festival at literally any other time of year.

I’ve been traumatized by winter way more than summer so I have to put Winter last. Yea you can put on a coat but have you ever worn a coat 24 hours a day? slept every night in your coat? Worn your coat down to the kitchen to get the shampoo out of the fridge in the morning? (the only place to keep it from freezing solid over night). The dread of slipping and breaking your bones on the sidewalk because other people wont or cant put out salt (or even shovel for that matter).

Are you living in Siberia? If you live in Siberia, I can definitely see summer being preferable.

Those massive, striped mosquitoes cause physical pain when they bite you. Then they itch. (The bites, not the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes feel terrific and fly off to bite someone else. Until the someone else smushes them, smearing blood everywhere. On both the someone else and the massive striped mosquito. It looks gross but is quite fulfilling. For the someone else. The mosquito is just appropriately dead.)

Italian ices are only terrible outside of the New York metropolitan area. Otherwise, this piece is spot on!

Wish my inner ear still worked - I love roller coasters…
