The short days are the worst part of winter. That, and stupid daylight savings takes an hour away from us in the evening. So I get off work, and there’s maybe 45 minutes of daylight to take my dogs to the park.
And I say that as a winter enjoyer. I love the cold weather. I wear shorts when it’s freezing. It’s 17.5°C in my house right now. You’d be lucky to catch me setting the heat past 20.
My wife sets it at 67 (roughly 20C). Which is pretty chilly for me. I wear layers and sweaters inside. But it makes her happy so whatever. When she’s out of town I’ll put it on 72 and feel good inside my house.
That being said it’s 34 outside right now and I hate the winter so fucking much. Cold and so dark. Can’t fix the cold but we could stop the daylight saving time hour stealing. Get up for work and it’s dark. Leave work and it’s dark. Insanity.
we have +30C summers and -30C winters. perfectly balanced. i visited relatives in Vancouver last summer and the 36 degree heat was basically unbearable.
sunset today is at 14:50. you love to see it.

the early sunset doesn’t really matter as long as there’s snow. the light lingers when everything is white.
if there’s no snow, then it’s less fun.
It doesn’t snow much in Oklahoma lmao
skill issue
Isn’t this completely normal

My granddad won’t set it any lower than 78°F.
Old folks get cold easier.
How far north/south do you live that the sun is setting @ 2:50 pm?
60ish degrees north. although i used to live in Kiruna, which in about a week will enter polar night until the middle of january.
Brrrr. I’ll stay as close to the equator as I can. San Diego is nice.
