I'm taking Guestfellow's suggestion that non-Muslims need to be involved in more than just debate seriously. So, this is definitely a non-debate thread. Just tell us what are your favorite things about winter. I suppose we might learn a lot about each other's homelands as in someplaces winter means snow and ice while in others it might mean rain or drought. And it might not be weather, but other things that people love. So, let's see if we can share and learn and be civil with one another.
 
I'm one of those folks that others in my part of the country tend to hate. I can't wait for winter to get here full of cold and snow. I haven't always felt this way, so I can empathize with those who don't like the idea of having to bundle up to go out in the cold or who don't like driving on slippery ice-covered roads. But it takes cold and snow for one of my favorite activities, skiing, so those very things that others often cite as hating are my favorite parts of winter.
 
This is a good idea....

I'm the opposite of you in this regard, Grace Seeker. My favorite thing about the Winter is the end of the season. I'm not a big fan of the cold, or snow, or darkness, or Black Friday shoppers.

I'm a Spring/Summer person.
 
i love everything about winter especially going out in bad weather and everyone rushing to buy up all the bread, eggs, and water. I like how you can bundle up in a bunch of clothes and then go home to nice big cup of tea/ hot chocolate.
And everyone cant go to work/ school bc of the roads so that is a day to chillax with the family.
 
My favority thing is that there's no bugs in winter (I have nothing against them, but they "bite"). In addition, you can find long sleeves shirts in stores al-hamdulillah.
 
salaams

My fav thing abt winter HAS to be walking all hunched up, the cold air that hits your face, the smoke that comes out from your mouth:p and the snow..its so beautiful..it never ceases to amaze me..subhannalalh wen u look at it u remember allah's beauty...subhanallah
 
Salaam,

I like winter, it is my favourite time of the year. I feel awake in the winter, unlike summer. I like it when it snows and rains. I like the sound of thunder too.

Nice. School never closes where I live :raging:, neither do we get to take a day off from work and we have some pretty harsh winters that last for half the year. I mean the snow starts in November and melts for the most part in May. Spring and fall are practically non-existent.
My favourite thing about winter is snow...
Salam

I remember liking that part as well when I was still in school. We would start praying for snow days as early as October, though it was at least December before it was ever bad enough to actually need one.

I am afraid but thats a bit cliche now .... no one enjoys bundling up in clothes. No one enjoys the penetrating arrows of freezing winds seering through 10 layers of woolen clothings ... no one enjoys slipping on black ice and breaking their femoral heads ... winter is the manifestation of death.

the talk of "cozy clothes" and "hot chocolates" irk me because they dont seem to be working!
 
I've always preferred cold weather over hot weather, simply because when its cold you can easily get warm by covering up, but when its hot... There's not much you can do. :p Also, I find grey skies to be oddly soothing/calming... Slightly depressing too, but in a good way. Then theres also winter break, but first I've gotta get through finals... :(

Well it works for me lol it could be just me as a person but I dont mind the penetrating arrows of freezing winds its kinda fun toughing it out...you must live in the city or something I've spent most of my life in the country and winter was the best and it was really beautiful when hiking in the woods because its really peaceful.
 
I used to love the snow :D up until last year when i slipped on some ice aAaARrGgHh! Now i'm sick at the sight of it :p i'm more of an autumn person; when you start to realise it's starting to get darker earlier, the leaves on trees turning a deep red and orange, stepping on crunchy fallen leaves nd best of all watching it rain nd the smell of rain too! Mmmm i could just eat it up :D
 
Yeah, autumn is nice too. It used to be my favorite season, until recently. Tonight I was reminded of another thing I like in winter, or at least in December (because it doesn't last all winter), that is all the pretty decorations. I had about an hour's drive home through several small towns, hamlets really, with lots of open country inbetween. And every house was lit up with lights in seemingly an infinite variety of combinations, designs and colors. Set against the black background of the night sky it was all very lovely.
 
Longer nights in winter, so I get to sleep longer. That's the best bit.
And making snowladies. :D And snow angels. And having snowball fights.
What I DON'T like is the icy bit that comes after the snow. :-\
 
I like winter because its the only time non-religious women dress appropriately

But they put the heaters at uni too high making our eyes melt into egg whites as we view the lab screens

I prefer colder weather. Problem: It's easier to fall asleep in comfort but harder to wake up in the cold. x_x
