I like having the four seasons. It is great to see a nice blanket of
snow on the ground. It is great to have a good dump of snow and then
have the sky clear up and make everything bright and cherry. The
change, or lack thereof, it is the problem. My birthday is in mid
November and we can count on snow on or before it. The motorcycle, kayak
and bicycles will have been put away for the season. We may or may not
have snow on the ground until the end of March, but is likely to be damp
and/or cold until the end of March..... 4 1/2 months of it. A week of
winter and snow would satisfy me.

That would be a hot spell for us. Heat warnings are issued when he get
into the high 80s.
