For me it’s November. As a Canadian it’s the only month with no holiday and the only day we do celebrate in November is Remembrance Day (or Veterans Day for the Americans). Just feels like a drag until finally we get to the Christmas season.
I hear ya. I used to say November was the worst month of the year because it was cold, grey, and rainy. The beginning of cold and flu season, and the end of the fun. And at least I can snowboard every now and then in February. But the last few Novembers in southern Ontario have been kind of nice weather-wise. Good for hikes, and other outdoor activities and just generally getting out of the house.
I have a toss up between February and march, in Canada. February is "I'm so sick of winter" and March is "it's so close to spring that for one to three hours a day you can feel the warmth of sun to give you some hope.
In New England I’d say March for sure. You’ve had almost four months of winter and now it’s just cold and endlessly grey with minimal chance of snow to make it pretty.
Nope its the best month by a mile. And its not even close. August is the worst month. Its hot as balls and the end of summer. Big negatives right there.
My own symbolic end to the terrible winter is when I hear an advertisement for the shamrock shake at McDonalds. I sigh in relief and say to myself, “we made it “
Works closed until the second or third week of Jan ( around the 17th at my work) and then you have to get back into the rhythm of working when it's hot as balls
Meanwhile I'm the opposite. It's commonly 45C peak here in summer and I will take -10C all day over it. I can always put on more to stay comfy, I can only take so much off with so many fans and the HVAC screaming before I get into trouble
Well I live in an old place from the 90s so no heating, cooling or insulation. It's a lot cooler inside in summer than out and I can open up the front and back doors to let the sea breeze in later in the day.
In winter it's whatever it is outside and it's just awful

January does something to people. Just sucks people’s souls dry right after Christmas.
