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.

I love it.

Nope I love it too, inside feels so much more cosy when outside is frosty, I can break out all my winter clothes which are by far my favourite, and I love taking my dog for walks in the cold. I was thoroughly sick to death of the heat this summer so I'm glad we're getting some good cold to even it out.

Do you like driving in it as well, because I'm fed up already.

Agree with this.

Not only are icy conditions horrid to drive in, but also it takes ages to defrost my old car on the outside and wipe away condensation on the inside.

I add an extra 10 minutes to my journey time on ice days.

Me too!
Frigging hate the early school run (she has to go for Breckfast club and we have to walk as would take longer to drive) rest of it I love.

Yesterday was horrid. Sideways wet snow all morning. Today has been lovely, freezing but sunny.

BrendaSmall · 20/11/2025 15:39

Give me 30+c any time!
I absolutely hate the cold weather and I hate the wet weather even more 🤣
oh I’m going to Iceland for a holiday soon as I love the cold there and the snow, I just can’t stand it in the UK!

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

SusanSHelit · 20/11/2025 15:37

Yabvvvvvvu. My energy bills are going through the roof, my joints hurt, my skin is suffering, asthma has flared up and no amount of soup, or hot drinks or bloody sweaters is making any of it any better. I contemplated getting in the bath this morning just warm up a bit.

Roll on spring and the return of reasonable temperatures. If people were supposed to live where it was this cold they'd be wooly.

I'm not a fan of the cold, but I got a snow day from work today 😀

ResusciAnnie · 20/11/2025 15:35

Same! Everyone I’ve spoken to is loving it too . I basically have this conversation every hour when a new client comes in to see me 😄 ages 7-70 yesterday were delighted by the snow 😄

The energy companies are certainly not complaining, I imagine!
