      Summer in the Pacific Northwest is now just smoke season so, with the exception of like a week during June, my asthmatic ass hanging out inside from March til October, thank you.

    Nope. I love warmth and sunlight.

    • Summer is best.
    • Spring is good because it means awful cold, miserable, grey Winter is over.
    • Autumn is next and it’s nice enough but tempered by the terrible knowledge that dull, gloomy, icy Winter is coming.
    • Winter is worst. Three fucking months of misery and dejection. Not even Christmas makes up for it.

    I loved winter when it was actually snowing. Now I prefer spring I think.

      Man, thinking about that makes me so depressed. Growing up we’d have the snow cover lasting for months on end during the winter, commonly several feet of snow too. These days we’re lucky if the snow remains for a week before it thaws even at the height of December.

        It is amazing how circumstances will mould the things we want. Our yard has been covered by 5 feet of snow since December. All I want is to see some green…

        Here in Poland, we have significantly less snow than we used to, but I just enjoy the atmosphere of winter. I totally understand you.

    I do not. Seasonal depression beats me up and makes me exhausted. I love being in the sun

    No, even here I like summer better than winter. Love the long days, the afternoon storms, it’s too hot but that still feels better to me than cold. Plus the snowbirds go back to their summer homes up north so traffic gets easier.

    Winter is nice for gardening though, can grow more things here in the winter.

        West Central Florida, the growing zone 10. Those daily thunderstorms in the summer are so beautiful. When I was a kid they were like clockwork, then they failed and there was a drought, but they seem to be back for now. Even the flooding in the parks, the “seasonal wetlands” as my ex used to call them, it is so beautiful, wading birds and frog noises. Love summer.

    If I could afford to live somewhere that was summer every single day I would.

    Fall is my favorite here in the southeast US. Cooler weather, beautiful foliage on the trees, and much much less pollen than in Spring.

    Yes. I love the cold, lack of sweat, comfy clothes and being cozy at home while it’s cold outside.

    I dislike that hanging clothes tomdry takes forever unless it’s an exceptionally dry day.

    Most definitely prefer winter. I moved from the south to the north US and I adore all of the snow, cold, and lack of sun. Don’t have to apply sunscreen and can go sledding. Summer in the north sucks cuz there’s not as much AC as there is down south.

    One thing I miss are the cicadas and frogs. There’s some up here, but they don’t get in a chorus nearly as much as back home. The summer storms I miss a lot too. Apparently the closer you get to the equator, the more thunderstorms happen. I do not miss the temps getting into the 100Fs WITH 100% humidity.

    Honestly, I think winter, because while I can easily protect myself against the cold by wearing thick, warm clothes, I can’t really protect myself agains the heat. Even if I walk around naked, it’s still gonna be hit as fuck.

    I’d like winter if it was a blanket of snow making everything pretty and white. But the last few years it’s just been gray and brown with a day of snow before it melts.

    Winter is the best! No need for air conditioning and the fact that we get to use sweaters and blankets all season. Plus the hot drinks are nice and warm you up.
