Oh dear. So much resentment. Maybe Mumsnet isn't the place for you? Go off and find your tribe! Be free!

Grin You should read the "I hate summer threads" - so much venom, hate and resentment on there, and most of all, anger.

Do you like any of Mumsnet?

You’re being out out there with no supplies though. No snow gear allowed.

OK, but then you don't get any water or shade on a 30 degree day in summer. And you have to let your children go down the metal slide.

I don’t mind the temperature itself but hate driving in icy or snowy conditions.

This is mumsnet - full of women who can't cope with temperatures over 18 degrees and who either have plenty of £££ to pay for their fuel bills or are people who like to post on the competitive underheating threads.

I'm sorry you are uncomfortable. I don't like winter either but I'm not a typical mumsnetter. I don't like festering snuggling under blankets in candlelight, drinking hot chocolate, I answer the phone and the doorbell, I like my workmates and got on like a house on fire with my late MIL.

Absolutely love it. Waiting for snow

Scottishskifun · 20/11/2025 17:28

I love the snow but hate that I have been juggling childcare due to school closures and work with nobody happy!

Did manage a lunchbreak sledge which cheered DS1 up!

Sarah2891 · 20/11/2025 17:28

I love it too, so much better than hot weather, for me.

tinytemper66 · 20/11/2025 17:27

Me too. I love a walk along the beach 🏖️ in this weather. Crisp air etc x

The one thing I know -

Whatever the weather is, some people will love it and some hate it.

Often this will depend on what you have to do with your day!

I'm lucky in that I love the turn of the seasons, and then the new season. And just when you're getting sick of it, a new season comes along!

So yes OP, I'm loving this cold snap 😃

DarkPassenger1 · 20/11/2025 17:26

It's just perfect. Bloody love winter approaching, dark nights, icy cold air, and especially rain. Gorgeous.

youalright · 20/11/2025 17:25

I moan about it but i secretly love it

Pollqueen · 20/11/2025 17:22

Hate it. Hate the expense of having to put the heating on, hate driving in it, hate having to defrost my car in the morning and hate my fingers being frozen. Roll on summer ☀️ I do have a fireplace though so getting that up and running as do love a real fire 🔥

HeyThereDelila · 20/11/2025 17:20

YANBU; it was traditionally always this cold in Britain at this time of year. We need it for killing pests and bugs in the soil and for the birds and animals to know the seasons. Time was autumn/winter would be cold for 4 months- it’s I only in recent years with climate change we’ve stopped understanding what normal temperatures are.

GumFossil · 20/11/2025 17:19

It was simply gorgeous here today. The brightest sunshine, clear blue skies and fucking freezing.

I came home to the roasting woodburner which my husband has lit this afternoon. Bliss.

GovernmentFundedSteak · 20/11/2025 17:19

I can't afford to put my heating on, so I'm just cold and miserable. My toes hurt when it's cold. I'm a weird size and shape so struggle to find a decent coat that fits. Hate having too many layers, it's just bulky and uncomfortable.

I hate it when is 30+ as well though.

Hoardasurass · 20/11/2025 17:18

IHateWasps · 20/11/2025 17:11

Winter lovers ought to be put out in the midst of a blizzard with no shelter or supplies for half an hour(Ok perhaps 15 minutes) and see how fond they are of it then.

Yes that's true.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 20/11/2025 17:12

😭😭 I would love it even with a commute!

Plus my school run is long (long story) so an hour each way!!

I doubt very much that you'd love it if you had a difficult driving commute or had to drive around as part of your job. @Charlize43 your poor neighbour. It's good that you find the time to look out for her despite being so busy work wise.

GaIadriel · 20/11/2025 17:15

I like when it gets cold and crisp. Makes me feel alive. Total opposite to lethargic heat (which I also enjoy in moderation). Gives me that festive feeling.

I enjoy it less after xmas when it's just months of crap weather and struggling to get into my frozen shell of a car at 5am. Didn't really enjoy being outside for 40 mins at a time yesterday on a big concrete pour. My hands were frozen even under my gloves and had forgotten my neck warmer. 😩

goldenmagicbiscuittin · 20/11/2025 17:13

I hate it. Thankfully the months seem to be flying by so in about 3 months time it will be almost spring, lovely light evenings and summer on the horizon hoorah!

wtdse · 20/11/2025 17:13

Hate hate hate it!! How long till I can be in flip flops and shorts back down the beach??!!
