I really don't hate winter, its the short days and time change that I hate. I live in the great southwest so we don't get snowed in here.

Almost bought a house in Florida but there is way too much crime.

I was born here, so this is where I am. Spent my whole life here, short a few years i spent in Seattle. I do plan to move out of this state though, either AZ or TX. Year round riding and a river or lake for my boat.

I don't hate it but it cuts down on the trips. I still ride to work a lot of mornings at around 30 degrees but that's just a cold 15 minute ride. The ride home is better. 🤘

I love snow. I like skiing. My grandson and my dog were running around in it this weekend. My grandson said “I love snow. It’s the best fun .”

I feel sorry for people who never experienced that joy.

Try being a service mechanic for heavy equipment in the midwest during winter, hate doesn't begin to describe how you'll feel about winter come the spring thaw.

I truly HATE winters. I hate everything about it. Cant ride for almost 5 months if were lucky. Hate shoveling and throwing salt down. Hate dealing with the f'ed up daylight savings where is dark by 5pm and your ready for bed by 630pm. Making the winters feel even longer.. My list goes on and on. Yet here I am going on my 42nd Wisconsin winter.
