For me its opening the apple weather app and the map in it and watching the temperatures and wind patterns all around the world

The colours are beautiful in winters

Going on a run in the evening, when the weather is shit. Usually the streets are empty, I feel the rain on my face, the wind. I can catch glimpses of cozy people in front of their TV, or in their kitchen and imagine them to be happy about the fact that they are inside in this weather. I also get happy thinking about returning to my couch, after a run the couch seems to be extra comfy and the food better. But before that I speed up to max out my capacity and the feeling of being alive, by getting extra soaked through, cold and exhausted. It's great.

Originally wasn't going to comment, but I get a very similar feeling being inside a car parked on a road during the rain. It's an odd feeling watching someone walking home quickly through the rain while you sit in another dark car, dry and unnoticed.

Sounds really similar. I also like that :) Maybe it's the feeling of being absent from the world, like a small "Stop" Button. I don't know.

PS: I feel the same as you.
