I miss the days when we had a normal weather year.
*sigh*

I remember when I was little and we had four seasons. I miss them. They were nice.

As an aside, I am one of those sick freaks that can handle a heavy amount of humidity. I guess it is a balance, because if we have a cold winter (not like this last one) I will bitch the whole time. I keep quiet in the hot humid days of summer and let my husband bitch then.

I hate heat, and humidity even more! anything over 70 degrees, and I'm sweating walking up the stairs! Sleeping in a nice cold room is great too, during the winter- window usually cracked just a little... summer, the air goes on about 3 hours before I get to bed, so when I walk in, it's like walking into a big fridge.

4 seasons don't mean anything unless you've lived in a warm climate and can compare the difference. the weather may not be what it used to be, but we really *do* have 4 very distinct seasons here: winter is cold, spring is warmer, summer is hot, fall is cooler

See, I don't base seasons on the temp. I base it on the visuals.

Unless you have more than a foot of snow for at least a solid week on at least two occasions, it isn't winter. This whole "we get a snow storm and it melts in three days" thing doesn't do it for me.

But again, I enjoy the winter... playing in the snow, the slight burn in your lungs from the cold air, the cuddling to keep warm ...

See, I'm more with Adam on this one (the weather, not the cuddling Annie )

When you say "spring is warmer", "fall is cooler", to me that says that that spring and fall are just slight variations on whatever came before. I think of a season as a dramatically different set of conditions - winter is sub zero and snowy, spring is a sudden riot of green and warmth, summer is sticky and hot, in autumn the whole world suddenly turns red and orange and yellow.
