i'm in a city in Canada and it's -18C today.

plenty of kids playing outside, just heavily bundled and for short stints.

Yeah, the cold would bother me less than the rain and darkness, tbh.

> for short stints.

This is the issue though, we have a 2.5 year old who's just super active, and it's much easier to tire him out when the weather is better and there's more light. Like, right now in Ireland it's still completely dark by 5.30 which means it's hard to tire him out in the winter.

That's cool, we have those too but they're mostly kid friendly in the mornings and afternoons and used for adult stuff in the evenings.
