Here are the cold, hard truths about why winter is deeply overrated. Winter is a season designed to vacuum money out of your bank account. First, your heating bill triples because you’re essentially paying to fight a war against the outside air. Then, you have to buy "winter gear"—not just a coat, but layers . Thermal underwear, wool socks, waterproof boots, gloves that actually work (spoiler: they never do), and a scraper for your car that you will inevitably lose.
This lack of light doesn’t just make you tired; it triggers legitimate biochemical depression in millions of people. It’s called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and it turns you into a lethargic, carb-craving, irritable zombie. You aren't "relaxing" on the couch; you are hibernating out of sheer biological despair. Spring has rain. Summer has sunburns. Fall has leaves. Winter has death traps . disadvantages of winter
