I moan about it but i secretly love it

DarkPassenger1 · 20/11/2025 17:26

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

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 😃

tinytemper66 · 20/11/2025 17:27

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

Sarah2891 · 20/11/2025 17:28

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

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!

Bufftailed · 20/11/2025 17:28

Absolutely love it. Waiting for snow

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.

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

Bryonyberries · 20/11/2025 17:29

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

We are the ones with all the snow gear out walking in it for fun

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

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

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.

Do you like any of Mumsnet?

GrandHighVitch · 20/11/2025 17:41

Yeah I love this cold weather as well. I love wrapping up warm, going out in the cold, then getting home to a warm house and snuggling up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a blanket. Lovely. I love British seasons.

MaplePumpkin · 20/11/2025 17:44

Love it. Love wrapping up and feeling the bite in the air when I’m outside, then getting home and being all cosy with the heating and candles on… heaven!

TheresGlitterAllOverMyHouse · 20/11/2025 17:47

I’m loving it! Got all the winter coats out this morning, hats and gloves.
Had the heating on all day, DP has actually said he’s thinking of getting a blanket for himself on the sofa, never thought I’d hear that.

Im enjoying the walk to and from work in the dark, it’s so peaceful. Hoping it gets colder and this isn’t it for the wintery weather

Kevinbaconsrealwife · 20/11/2025 17:49

This time last year I would have totally agreed with you….fast forward 12 months, I’ve finished my menopause and lost 3 stones in weight and I am constantly feckin freezing !!!!! 😂

DrCoconut · 20/11/2025 17:51

Can't wait for summer. Autumn has dragged on and on and now this 😫 I hate scraping ice off the car for school and work run.

DH is terribly underweight due to health issues and is really struggling with the cold weather. He loves walking, but it is just too cold for him now.

cadburyegg · 20/11/2025 17:53

I am currently without a boiler so not enjoying it 😭

Berlinlover · 20/11/2025 17:57

I love it too. I live in the west of Ireland where it’s nearly always raining, it’s lovely to have a few dry days even if it’s very cold. Back to the rain tomorrow 😭

lifeonmars100 · 20/11/2025 18:00

If I could afford to run my heating for more than a few hours a day I would be fine with it but I feel sick with anxiety about the cost of it all. Plus I really need a new front door as it lets in an awful draught but a decent new one is outside my budget. It is also really dangerous for rough sleepers and there are a lot in the city I live in

Emma330912 · 20/11/2025 18:00

I normally don't mind it, but our boiler broke 2 days ago & we're looking at Wednesday/Thursday for an installation of a new one! Lots of boiling pans & double (triple!) Layers!

PeonyPatch · 20/11/2025 18:01

Absolutely do not like it at all or agree… this weather makes me utterly miserable! It’s freezing! ⛄️

How can you afford to run the heating all day!!!? I now pay twice as much to have mine on for half as long, an hour when I get up and a couple of hours in the evening, and it breaks me
