The best part about winter, is that it's nice inside. In summer, it can get to a point where it isn't even nice inside anymore.

But also all the downsides of winter outside can be mitigated and navigated. The downsides of summer outside can't be.

There are humans that hang out outside at -70C all day. For all you F users, that is -94F. The coldest winter ever gets where I am is -40C(also -40F for F people), it's usually only about -20C(-4F) on an average cold day in winter.

If you are too cold in winter, you aren't dressed right. There are options available that you haven't taken.

You can always add more layers of clothing, you can only take off so much before you get arrested.

Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær.

That’s a popular saying among Scandinavians on the theme. Translated: There is no bad weather, only bad clothes.

Day 25 of our one year mission at this inhospitable outpost: If that Swedish guy says "Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær" one more time, I'm going to kill him.

But what about the darkness? How do you mitigate the fact that it's pitch black so early in the day?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Darkness doesn't bother me. I like to go for walks at 3 am in summer, seeking out the times when it's still at least a bit dark.
