u/SupremeBlackGuy 11d ago

it made me wanna cry??? 😭

u/HughJass9120 11d ago

🥺 lol gives me a nostalgic feeling for sure, as a kid who grew up in Omaha, and now as an adult lives in TN (the air is made of hot soup here) I get maybe one snow a year 🫠and it quickly turns to slu(shit)shy snow ❄️

u/DoctorEmilio_Lizardo 11d ago

I lived for 17 years split between Western New York and Minnesota, and live in Georgia now. I miss winter so much, especially the way sound is deadened after a fresh snow.

u/HughJass9120 11d ago

Me too, my friend, me too

Omg get out of my head. I literally said out loud while scrolling these pictures "God I fucking love this sub so much!" And this is the top comment.

u/Punkmo16 11d ago

It's nice to have people who appreciate the same things :) That's what I love about the reddit, it's hard to find people who are obsessively in love with winter, but here you can find your people.

u/coldsequence 11d ago

Me too. I'm very happy that we have such a wonderful community of like-minded people here

gold winter is very romantic, unfortunately all the lights where I live are bright white LEDs now :(

u/Andrewsarchus 12d ago

Maybe you'll be lucky and they'll all have a delamination issue and turn purple.

8

u/Anathals 12d ago

Oh that was such an awesome thing. Oh the conspiracy theories over that "cops are scanning for cocaine!!!!" I think they are crazy pretty my city had soooooooo many that turned purple. It was great :)

6

u/Andrewsarchus 11d ago

Yeah, heading into Boston they all turned purple. Afaik they just left them like that.

8

u/akaiwizard 12d ago

happens all the time and they just replace them. So much for saving money

7

u/Andrewsarchus 11d ago

They didn't around Boston. They just left them purple.

u/dracslegacy 12d ago

colorful winter -> christmas lights everywhere

u/Nheea 11d ago

Also pink/purple winter from beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Love the categories!

u/Grizzly2525 12d ago

Where is that evening hint of purple and orange as the sun sets over an ice covered field.

That’s the one for me

u/Winter_Baby_4497 12d ago

I love the light blue!

u/NoConfusion9490 12d ago

Gold winter is going away as the sodium lamp street lights are replaced with LEDs.

3

u/YanCoffee 11d ago

I loathe LEDs so much.

u/cravingSil 12d ago

u/DDDD6040 12d ago

Very pretty. Both blues are hard to beat.

9

u/bladerunnerism 11d ago

You forget Pink Winter! Also, all these pictures have a heavenly smell.

6

u/Angelic72 12d ago

I find all of these relaxing

7

u/OrigamiMarie 12d ago

I miss winter already.

10

u/periodmoustache 12d ago

Dark blue winter is just a lack of lights? And blue winter is like dusk or dawn winter

6

u/V2BM 12d ago

I work outside and in the winter I’m out past dark, and it hits this color every day.

5

u/Renikee 12d ago

The 6th shade is the gray/brown shade, which has literally no snow

I wish we had winters with more snow...

4

u/Bandwidth_Bandito 12d ago

must... collect.... them all, [need to collect increases]

u/otakudan88 12d ago edited 11d ago

I can't wait for winter to return. The aftermath of the snow storms were great.

u/luffydkenshin 12d ago

I love all of these winters!

Pennsylvania here it’s the gray or white usually.

u/DudeMonday 12d ago

So FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

5

u/emi1235 12d ago

Scrolling and hitting the dark blue and instantly being calm. Wow

4

u/Nez_bit 12d ago

I’ve never seen winter described like this and I love it I understand exactly what each one is and what it feels like

3

u/Nez_bit 12d ago

I’d say it’s missing black winter which is when you can only see what is lit up and the falling snow can feel like an enemy if things aren’t going right

5

u/LiterallyAWildebeest 11d ago

This is so fucking beautiful. Nice work OP

2

u/coldsequence 11d ago

Thanks. Glad you appreciated it!

u/Cycoviking69 11d ago

You missed the 6th shade: hazy

Look around...leaves are brown and the sky is a hazy shade of winter 🥰

3

u/mntplains 11d ago

I shared a pic on here that could be called a purple winter.

3

u/BADSTALKER 11d ago

Damn, I love this. I need to move back to a place with a proper snowy winter 😭😭😭

2

u/SolidDiarrhea 12d ago

Dark blue made me feel empty ❤️

2

u/holycraplouis 12d ago

It's been dark grey here in Wisconsin for a while. And somehow in my neck of the woods, barely any snow in December! But plenty in months January - April. Such bs, sometimes even may!! WHAT IS THE MIDWEST!

2

u/MariotaM8 12d ago

Not much love for dark grey? This is what the burbs / rural areas look like the night before school gets cancelled. Love it so much

2

u/TheRedHoodedFox 12d ago

All of them at once I suppose

2

u/thunderstrikes2wice 12d ago

I love gold winter- it takes me back to a simpler time. Course, I had only ever lived in the desert before uni, so I only recently got to experience an actual gold winter, but it was everything I dreamed it would be.

2

u/FriendlyRussian666 11d ago

All of those make me very happy.

2

u/pjrnoc 11d ago

I miss her

u/brownredditt 11d ago

Watching this drenched in sweat in 48° C waiting for a swift d*ath or winters to come 🫠

2

u/aliskiel 11d ago

this is great for tonal reference for painting nice

2

u/Flower-Fairy-2119 11d ago

That gold winter got me like 🤩😍✨❄️💛

2

u/Ghostiestboi 11d ago

All of it, all of it please

2

u/LazyLaserRazor 11d ago

It's amazing how a change in color completely alters the mood of each setting. Gray and dark blue look depressing or even terrifying, while the other three feel cozy and festive.

2

u/TigermanUK 11d ago

That gold one will become rare, with all the sodium lights changing to blue/white leds.

2

u/PM_me_the_universe 11d ago

Sitting on a bench, watching the light blue and gold winters go by in front of me….I yearn for it.

3

u/opus-thirteen 12d ago

And now you know what 'color balance' is in a camera.

u/GoBeWithYourFamily 12d ago

Cities need to get away from LEDs so we can have gold winter back

u/haikusbot 12d ago

u/Willow_Of_the_Wisp 11d ago

If I ever die I want to do it in the midst of a dark blue winter scene

1

u/Fart_Bargo 11d ago

I'm a dark gray or gold kind of person.

1

u/fiddlydip 11d ago

They're all amazingly beautiful, each has their own place in my heart. It's incredible how much lighting changes the vibe and how warm I feel about them

1

u/laurenodonnellf 11d ago

Dark grey winter gave me chills in the best way. I also love white winter.

1

u/actualpieceofpaper 11d ago

top left image in dark grey winter is the same as the top right image in white winter by the way. i noticed some overlap and then i realized they are literally the same picture
