Winter sucks

Winter sucks. It has not even truly started and I already have enough of it.

I am not someone who gets cold easily but for some reason I have a feeling that half of our women will not survive this season. Yeah, weather guy please don't tell us how nice it's going to be this weekend because it will get up to 3°C. Because it's not going to be nice. The fucking wind is going to howl and freeze our faces until there is no feeling left in them. 

I would be fine if it was only the cold. What really sucks is going inside and having to peel out of five layers of cloths like we are fucking onions. Summer cloths are also much more comfortable than winter cloths.

The one upside is that Deutsche Bahn, MVG and similar public transit providers will use winter as an excuse for every second train naturally arriving late because something something weather. I imagine the responsible parties sitting in their offices over some hot beverage surfing the interwebs in late January when they distantly glance at their calender and proceed to jump out of their seat realizing they missed the beginning of winter again this year. Following this they most likely surf to Amazon to buy salt for the streets. At least that's the only reasonable explanation for why it's suddenly empty every fucking year.

There will probably be snow at some point. But it will either be too much or not enough or too early or too late or it will be gone too fast or stay too long. Last winter there was barely any snow in most regions. It's kind of a lottery we're always losing: one year nothing, the next too much. In any case, I will get wet socks because I keep wearing my sneakers because random warm days tricked me into thinking spring is approaching.

I reckon complaining is pretty unsexy but I wanted to submit myself to the German stereotype to make you other people feel better. You are welcome.
