Uh, some people just don't like the cold? It does get very cold. And it's pretty insulting to just assume someone's like follows a pattern of "You drive to work you drive home. Maybe you go out to dinner then you go to bed".
Some people like to take a hike or run every week, for a example. Or have the ability to bike to work year round.
- nine_k 10y agoNYC has winter, but people hike, run, and bike year round. What's funnier, Stockholm has winter, longer than NYC, but people do the same year round.
- Reason077 10y agoNeither Stockholm nor NYC have a winter anything like what parts of Michigan get - both are relatively temperate, coastal cities. Michigan is pretty much Canada!
- pyre 10y ago"Parts of Michigan" is disingenuous because we are specifically talking about Novi, MI which is in SE Michigan rather than places like (e.g.) Houghton, MI.
- serge2k 10y agoDetroit is literally north of Canada.
- ZoeZoeBee 10y agoFYI not a single month is Stockholm warmer than Detroit...
- Reason077 10y agoNot true - December, January, and February are colder, on average, in Detroit. In January, for example, Stockholm's average daily temp is -2.8C(27F) while Detroit's is -5.1C(23F). Outside of the winter months, the rest of the year is warmer in Detroit.
- ZoeZoeBee 10y agoAnd the average daily highs for Detroit in December, January, February are still higher than Stockholm
- dagw 10y agoStockholm does not have anything that people from the colder parts of the US would recognize as "winter".
- jpatokal 10y agoUm, average temps in January are well below freezing, with temps below -20 C (0 F) a regular occurrence. It's not Fargo in midwinter, but it's definitely "winter".
- dagw 10y agoaverage temps in January are well below freezing Long term average is around -3, with 3 of the past 10 Januaries having an average above zero. with temps below -20 C (0 F) a regular occurrence Not since 2011 if SMHI is to be believed and that was only around Bromma and inwards, not around the city center and towards the coast.
