Hot Take: The Winter in Chicago Sucks Less Than The Summers in Florida.

However, as it turns out, it wasnt as bad as I had feared.

Dont get me wrongChicago winters suck ass.

Theyre harsh, cold, and relentless, and they certainly deserve their reputation.

But, in my opinion, theyre not nearly as unbearable as the summers in South Florida.

Thats just a regular summer day in South Florida.

Trying to do anything outside during the summer in South Florida is a recipe for heat stroke.

Golfing, for example, is nearly impossible.

Beaches, which are supposed to be a haven for relaxation and fun, feel like hell on Earth.

Its not just uncomfortableits exhausting.

Outdoor activities in South Florida summers are non-existent.

By comparison, Chicago winters, while cold and inconvenient, have their manageable moments.

Though I will say the wind in Chicago is fucking terrible.

I can do cold and snow all day, but if that wind is ripping Im fucked.

In the end, both climates have their downsides, and neither is perfect.

At least in the cold, you could add layers and find ways to stay warm.
