Winter is a time for the holidays, vacation and family gatherings but it is also the coldest season. And that is where I have a problem with winter. You see, I despise the cold. Here are six reasons why winter is the worst season.

1. It is a Nuisance

During winter, every decision has to be based on how cold it will be. It limits your options on going out. Also, everything takes longer. You have to warm up your car in the morning. And the buses usually run slower when it is snowing. Speaking of public transportation, everyone is wearing really heavy winter clothes. So, already crowded trains or buses are even tighter. And public places are always slippery from wet shoes.

2.The Snow

The snow is only good for two reasons: taking that one picture while the snow is falling in the background and snow days. Other than that, the snow is very troublesome. You have to shovel snow off the sidewalk. Which is really hard and takes a lot of time. You also have to take off snow from a car windshield. Because if you don’t, then you’ll have a big problem on your hands.

3. It is Always Dark

The sun sets at about 5:00 and that is really early. Which sucks because you feel like the day ended really early and you have wasted your day. The sun shining on you is also a great sensation that is really missed during the winter.

4. Skin conditions

During the winter, skin tends to get really dry and cracked. Cracked lips are really painful. You have to reapply lip balm or lotion every ten seconds.

5. Clothing

As mentioned before, winter clothes tend to get really bulky. Also, you have to be careful with what you wear during the winter. For example, you can not wear those cute suede boots or even UGGs because the water and salt can ruin it. And how annoying is it when socks get wet?

6. It’s Cold

Lastly, I hate winter because of the cold. I despise the cold. I really hate it when my fingers and toes get really numb or red from the cold. I would rather live on the sun. But, New York City is my home so I can't do anything about it right now. It seems like the people around me seem to like the cold, though, which is something that really confuses me.

I despise the winter because of the cold and how troublesome the snow can get. The cold limits your clothing options and can dry out your skin. Also, the days become really short and procrastination becomes essential. But, at least you can get hot chocolate out of it.
