Yes I'm familiar with the ridiculously extreme Arkansas summers. I consider it to be madness to be out in it at all. Can't even dodge the heat by going into the shady woods because of ticks and snakes, so it's all about being on baking hot tarmac and concrete, risking skin cancer and cataracts. And the humidity stops the sweat evaporating and cooling you down.
These days I spend summer in the UK where it's more temperate at least, but when I'm there I'm in a city and can't so easily get to anywhere that isn't crowded out with people and motor vehicles. But when I manage to, I love it. Some of the UK countryside and small villages are really beautiful.
Winter, early Spring, and late Autumn in Arkansas I don't mind so much when the rain, snow, massive thunderstorms, tornadoes, giant hailstones etc. aren't around. I'm OK with cold weather for a while as long as I'm well wrapped up. And I have to get some exercise. I just wish the locals wouldn't keep burning weeds and using wood stoves so much. It makes the air stink and I expect it's carcinogenic.
I don't know about this seasonal affective disorder thing. By rights I should be really depressed by now, having had so little sunlight for all these years. Even my house in the UK is very dark and gloomy because it's a mid-terrace and all the neighbours built kitchen extensions that blotted out what little sun there used to be. But I'm as chirpy now as I've ever been. I guess some of us are just immune to the syndrome.
SAME! The weather is miserable outside of the winter. Just today I walked outside with my dog and it's super bright outside and there are insects!! Noooooooo. Why does winter leave sooo fast?
Granted, I'm not an outdoorsy person in general. I like to say that I prefer the outdoors in the winter and that is true, but overall even when the conditions outside are nicest (in my eyes that means cool to chilly and overcast) I still prefer to be indoors. Just because indoors is my happy place (especially my own bedroom where I can control all sensory matters).
Anyway, I'm so happy to see someone else who feels the way I do. It's very rare to meet people who do.
