The least favorite season of the year.
Знание некоторых закономерностей освобождает от изучения многих фактов.
Мечты сбываются рано или поздно, так или иначе.
1. The biggest one is that a long time ago, after working for a while in the kitchen of a fast-food restaurant, I got frostbite on my hands (and this, by the way, was in winter). Add to this my habit of washing my hands frequently (it's a neurosis), as well as the fact that I don't have hot (I'm not even talking about warm) water at night, and it is precisely at night that I often need to wash dishes (lol). Every winter, I face the following: the skin on my hands cracks to the point of bleeding. In the winter of 2016-2017, I finally got tired of this and started applying cream to my hands, but I wouldn't say it helps much. So far, the most effective solution has been buying latex gloves (it's like a protective layer for the skin on my hands, so my hands don't actually get wet, even if they get cold).
2. My feet are constantly cold; three pairs of woolen socks and several more don't solve the problem.
3. It's cold in the apartment. If you turn on the heater, it becomes stuffy; if you turn it off, you freeze. So you just sit there like an idiot, turning it on and off.
4. To go outside, you have to expend a lot of pointless effort – putting on a bunch of clothes and then walking around in all those layers.
5. It's freezing outside. It becomes unpleasant to breathe (oh, fresh air, lol). While walking quickly, I get hot because of all the clothes I'm wearing (I walk fast, which is why I don't freeze), but as soon as I dress lighter or slow down, I immediately get cold.
6. Everyone around is sick, coughing, etc., and I'm a germophobe, so it bothers me...
7. Ice is, of course, better than slush and rivers of mud, but nevertheless, constantly having to watch where you step isn't very fun.
Downsides of Spring
1. Slush.
2. Rain.
3. Allergies.
Downsides of Summer
1. Heat. The heat is accompanied by feeling unwell, but since I feel terrible at any time of the year, I now realize that it's not even a big downside, haha.
2. Insects.
3. Loud, obnoxious people in the yard. I could say that other neighbors are also like that, but I won't; these creatures are noisy at any time of the year.
Downsides of Autumn
September doesn't really have any downsides, and November is already closer to winter and is similar to it in some ways.

By the way, I have to wear a ski suit all winter, and it's always hot inside. And if it's not hot, then the rest of my body parts that aren't covered by the suit get so cold they almost freeze. And I walk home for half an hour in the cold every Wednesday after 8 p.m.

My feet are constantly freezing, and three pairs of woolen socks, plus a few more, don't solve the problem.
Pros: only one pair of socks is enough.
Cons: the heel is thick, but still quite high. And this slows down movement, especially on slippery surfaces.
Every winter, I face the next winter.
In general, I like almost all seasons equally. Each season has its good and bad sides.
Now, let's talk about each season specifically.
Cons
Sometimes, there are severe frosts. It's very monotonous and gets tiresome towards the end. Despite the holidays, it's a rather depressing time of year...
Pros
It's the most unusual, dark, and magical time of year! New Year and, accordingly, Christmas trees, toys, tinsel, garlands, holidays, food, champagne. New Year's holidays and February 23rd. If it's a light frost around -5 degrees and without wind, it's very comfortable weather. Fresh air. Almost always snow! There are fewer uncouth people on the streets. No mosquitoes - no one is biting. Calmness and tranquility, and at the same time, an understanding that you need to work. No need to toil in the garden.
Pros
It gets warmer. Nature awakens. Vegetation and leaves appear on the trees. The mood improves, and there are some hopes. March 8th. Easter. May holidays. A great time of year!
Heat, stuffiness, uncouth people on the streets. Work in the garden. Birthday. Long daylight hours. Sunburn...
Pros
You can swim, everything grows around, strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, cherries, radishes, dill, and other berries, fruits, and vegetables.
Cons
Sometimes there's mud, slush, and prolonged rains.
Pros
