I could care less what the elements are like. I enjoy time with my close friends, mainly because I don't see them year-round due to school. Now, on campus, I am very much like this. I love being outside when its warm and in the spring I tend to hang out on the Oval and just hang out in the sun, but in the winter... meh, I don't leave the dorm all the often, unless I have to. I don't trek out to parties that much either, although what sucks if last year we stayed in the dorms a lot, but my buddies from the dorms last year have their own place that I will probably trek out to a lot, meaning I don't get to evade the cold like I did last year. Going to suck with their is a lot of snow and blistering winds though. gah I hate going to class in those conditions. Thank you for the convenient warm busses though! :D

Oh come on, it's not that bad :p

(I wonder how I'll be feeling about that statement if the ice storm destroys us tonight)

Right?!? :thumbsdown:

AC has been running for weeks. Summertime in December...

I hate you.

Scratch that...I hate myself for remaining in a temperate zone...

Yes, moreso than summer but I still hang out with my friends. Summer it's just easy to go on a bike ride or walk, or go down to the park and hangout. Being outside in U.P. winters isn't that fun anymore (as a kid it was great).

I hate the cold....I generally still go out w/ friends, what suffers is I go to the gym about 1/4 as often. And I run about 0.001% as often.

I hate hot weather, when it's cold, I like to be outside.
I am pretty much naturally a homebody, I don't like to be in crowded places or anywhere where I have to wait in line, but I'd say less of one in the winter.

I love the winter because of cooler temperatures, snow, and more hours of darkness. (The sun is bright and hurts my eyes, I like the darkness/night better.)

That said, if the roads are crappy, like today (at least in Lake County Illinois due to an ice storm), then I prefer not to be driving all over the place.

Also, I built a snow fort last weekend (with my girlfriends 6 year old son who lives with me now) ... It was lots of fun. I miss being a kid...

Yes, I don't like Minnesotan winters.... At least I live near the city, and we get decent plowing. I cannot stand being cold, though... I love humid 85 degree days.

The reverse. During the Summer I pretty much have to hide inside...can't stand heat, can't stand bright light, etc. During the winter I'm happy and energetic and much more extroverted.
