I love it.

I’m not British, but I’ve lived here almost 20 years and I still LOVE all the seasons. Im
from a hot country, and the variety of weather here delights me.

Unless there are economic reasons or they are regularly undertaking outdoor labour (which must be quite unpleasant in this weather), I always have difficulty understanding how so many people seem completely unprepared for cold weather. Every single year. It’s like they’re astonished they don’t live in the tropics.

You can be prepared for Winter and still detest it.

It so is. It’s my most favourite time. Thank you for loving it too.

No. It's horrible. Roll on Spring.

I think it depends on age, health and ability to manage the bills. I hate hot, humid weather, but I’m also not too happy with this.

But, in London/NKent, it’s not too bad at the moment. 👎

Just got home from the cinema where there was no heating! I’m very glad to be home in the warm.

Definitelynotme2022 · 20/11/2025 16:14

Nope.... it's too cold. Plus I have dogs to walk, I've had this cold virus thing for nearly 2 weeks and now have a chest infection.

Luckily for me, I'm off to the Algarve for a long weekend later. I can't wait for a bit of sunshine!

I’m not loving having chapped lips but aside from that, really don’t mind it at all.

Devilsmommy · 20/11/2025 16:12

I love it personally because I prefer to dress up in loads of layers. Can't wait for the first of December so I can break out my Christmas Guinness jumper 🤭

dooflepops · 20/11/2025 16:12

I love it too. I love coming home and drawing the curtains, summer light and heat can be too intrusive.
I think I may as well enjoy it while we have it, cold snaps never last long and it’s welcome after the long hot summer we had here.

SliceofTosst · 20/11/2025 16:11

In London it's going to cold and sunny tomorrow. Beautiful.

ThirdStorm · 20/11/2025 16:09

Yes love it (but no snow thankfully). Big coat is on!

No snow but had to defrost my car this morning and the sea was definitely warmer than the air temp!

The sea? 👀👀

I don't mind cold. I don't mind snow. But I do hate this.

YABVVU. Winter is utterly shit and people who love it are not to be trusted.

I love the summer / heat but this too. No snow yet though.

Hoardasurass · 20/11/2025 16:00

My Huskie and I are loving it. We've not had any snow yet but more than enough frost for Huskie frost angels😀

If it's going to cold snap like this I would like to see some snow. Alas, we live in the West Midlands, aka the only region of the UK that hardly ever sees a flake of the bloody stuff. Oh, but we got ALL the yellow and amber warnings for the downpour of Storm Claudia, whoop de friggin do.

@gamerchick Thanks; could be worth a try.

StripyHorse · 20/11/2025 15:49

As a disclaimer, we don't have snow here- except a smattering we can see on the hills in the distance. I love this cold, crisp weather. The only downside is having to work, when what I really want to do is wrap up warm and go for a long walk.
