(un)seasonably sunny today: I like it.

so I was thinking a lot about seasons & climate lately - and the last week I've been rolling around the idea of how often a season is overrun by another season if dif. regions (for example: when I lived in AZ , winter was not really winter, it was more summer. & when I lived in the valley in Oregon, winter was not really "wintery" it was more like autumn. In Seattle? It was like spring was most of summer - and in Minnesota, it's like winter eats spring & there is little to no spring here - maybe a rain or two, but most years no quiet cool balmy: Just cold cold then hot hot. In every area I can remember, really: one season was overrun by another, but which one.

So I started thinking about what I have liked, having lived through all of these; what I missed, what I didn't miss. I'm curious enough now to do a poll. what about you?

Poll #915128 season in, season out
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 11

If you had to give up a season of weather, which one would you drop?

If you then had to replace the missing season: what would you choose to extend? I'm thinking the stereotypes so I'll try to describe them, but forgive me if I'm wrong. heh It's generalisms a bit.
