That's pretty good definitely top 5, but I'll go with a quiet night after it snows and not even the plows are out yet.

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 days ago

it has been years since last time I've seen snow irl.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes this is it for me. Quiet winter night after fresh snow, with the orange glow of incandescent lights (not LEDs, fuck that). Being able to make the first footprints in the snow.

[–] MonkeyTown@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago

I like the first big night snow of the year when the sky turns pink from all the light pollution reflecting off the flakes.

I don’t like snow or winter though. :)

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can hear the beautiful crackling thunder.

Now you can see it too.

Give me the full storm. Thunder, lightning, rain pouring down like we've angered the gods.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And a nice glassed in balcony to sit in to watch the whole thing unfold. Perfection

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 3 days ago

Also, your hot beverage of choice.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I miss Midwestern storms. Wind that'll take you off your feet, the smell of tornadoes, the storm head like there's an ocean in fhe sky and the world's about to end… Gives me something fierce of a headache but beautiful as it gets.

I love the pnw and overcast and slightly rainy is great, but without a little attempted murder how am I supposed to feel like the sky loves me?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Moving from the midwest to PNW was weird this way, it was midway through the summer before I looked at the sky and thought, we've never had a storm here, not a flash of lightning or a rumble of thunder. Just pissy rain every morning that clears up into a lovely, chilly afternoon.

[–] artifex@piefed.social 15 points 3 days ago

This photo smells like petrichor, and I love it.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 18 points 4 days ago (3 children)

As someone who works outside. Absolutely no thanks.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Yep. This just reminded me of hiking in New Mexico during monsoon season. Beautiful, clear mornings. Setting up camp and eating at night in torrential rains.

[–] IndigoLarry@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As someone who works inside... Why the fuck would anyone want this? It's depressing AF.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

It's cozy when you're inside

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Same thought. Best wearher is dry, not windy and warm enough for a t-shirt, cold enough to keep you cool. Sometimes jacket weather is good if you need to wear one for protection

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Perfect in every way. I didn't realize I was a 'rain person' until I moved from horrifying sunny Southern California to Northern (in the mountains). The first fall/winter dumped around 100 inches and literally washed out about 15 feet of driveway that fell into the creek below.

Best winter ever.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I fucking miss thunderstorms since moving to the pacific northwest. They are sadly very rare here

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

We had one night a couple years ago with more lightning than the total I had ever seen in my life before (and since) then. I'm guessing it was like a weak storm in the Midwest.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember watching with delight a hell of a thunderstorm rolling in over Elliott Bay sometime between 2018 and 2020, wonder if it was the same one?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Very likely!
It lasted for something like an hour near me (South of Seattle, don't want to be too specific)

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

darkling skies and the scent of rain on the breeze

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can feel the barometric pressure dropping.

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 7 points 3 days ago

Give me a nice overcast day at like 5C so I can wear a sweater and I am loving it outside. No sun glare, no sweating, good times.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

The moments before a massive thunderstorm, that feeling of tension just before the heavens break open.

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

If they don’t already, this person really needs to move to the UK…

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

One of three, all in Spain:

Almeria. The only desert in Europe, but by the Sea. Probably like Baja California. Dry, mild to hot, but with the sea within minutes.

Granada. Generally mild. Between tall mountains. You can Ski and swim in the sea all in the same day.

The Canary islands, where the weather is not a conversation piece.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Bright and sunny, no clouds, 27°, light breeze

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's definitely #3. I think #1/2 are split between the same weather, but in the far distance as the bright sun overhead warms you up in early spring just enough to spare you the otherwise chill air in spring, and a bright sunny day in the late spring at the beach doing the same for the cool water.

#4 is a bright, clear day in the mountains in the winter, with fresh powder on the ground.

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am so confused right now. Is the octothorpe an ancient character of font sizing?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In CommonMark, which is the markdown system used by Lemmy, the octothorpe is used to denote header text.

The octothorpe must be at the beginning of the line, but there is some disagreement among apps as to whether it needs to be followed by a space.

# cromulent

#cromulent

#cromulent

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

Huh. Weird. Today I learned. It's interesting how your cromulents appear. Looks like the default view for the browser needs the octothorpe and the space for it to make it the header text.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Markdown does sometimes be that way, but it depends on the client. My app just shows the #s verbatim.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What client are you using?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Boost for Lemmy

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Rain in the city at night (or golden hour) is a good one. Makes me feel like I'm a bladerunner

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

I like that too, or maybe five minutes from that

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Tropical rainstorm in a beautiful rainforest aaa 🤤

[–] MonkeyTown@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

My favorite is in early spring, just after all the leaves come fully out but before they darken to their summer colors.

Driving/riding through dense woods on a still, sunny day (with the windows down, if in car) everything smells fresh and crisp, and the sun streams through the neon green leaves.

Magical renewal.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Snow. Weeks of snow.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I get this all the time... But it's less appreciable on some random industrial road

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Wife and talk about this if we were ever to move outside of Midwest. We both love thunderstorms.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

For work best weather is dry, not windy and cold enough that you're not constantly sweating.

Blustery, broken clouds and sunny, fresh after a rain with a slight fall chill. You appreciate both the cool and when the warm sunlight hits you.

That whispering quiet you get with a heavy snow and calm wind.

Thunderstorm rumbling in the distance with rain at night.
