"For the rest of the summer, we can live inside the refrigerator!"

I hate cloudy, dull days 270 days a year.

Can’t beat warm weather. Like you said, you can choose to stay inside and enjoy the air conditioning, but you can also choose to make the occasional appearance outdoors in nice weather. I would pick Spring or Autumn because it is more temperate, but you can never count on it being 75º or 45º. As an example, it snowed last week here in Utah. I can’t wait until it is consistently 85-90º days.

Humidity is the main issue most people have with Summer weather. I can’t blame them because living in Tokyo and Washington, D.C., those were tough days to be outside and enjoying life. I am sure humidity is what made you dislike Summer. Fortunately in Utah, it is a dry desert and the heat doesn’t feel as bad. I love Summer.

Unless you’re still in school, when summer means “summer vacation”.

It’s okay, you hate warm and miss football, no biggie.

…I have lived in San Diego, Tampa, Denver, Dallas, New Jersey, New York, Jamaica, Korea, Morocco, Alaska, Seattle (of course), Sacramento, and Spokane, and of all those climates, I prefer (drum roll) NEW YORK! I live in Westport, a small town in the Adirondacks on Lake Champlain, and we get 4 genuine seasons, and I like all of them (but Fall the most). We get snow and a frozen lake during winter, but nothing drastic, and the wind doesn’t blow all day every day like Spokane (more like Airway Heights, as I was at Fairchild AFB). Dallas was brutal hot, and Tampa terribly humid (of course) while Denver could be anything but humid (hot, arctic cold, tornadoes, huge hail and lightning), and while San Diego has near perfect weather, you have to deal with the crowds, traffic, annual brush fires and occasional earthquakes.

I like Seattle second best, as I too prefer cooler weather, but you don’t get the color during Autumn as much as here, with all the evergreens, although the Olympics, Rainer, Baker, Hood, etc. are incredible. The sound is awesome, actually like it better than Lake Champlain (sixth largest lake in the country), but we have lots of history around here and charming villages.

But you know what they say: climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.

The rain only comes often enough to be refreshing, and every once in a while you get a 2-week span of ridiculously comfortable sunny days. Plus it rarely gets so hot that being away from the AC is torture or anything.

Johnny, you need to move there, you’d love it. I hated the lack of a winter, it just seemed wrong to be coaching basketball in the gym when it was 60 and sunny.

It’s like San Diego, but a tad cooler. I think it’d be right up your alley…

Give me the hot weather year round over the crap weather that WA has for 2/3 of the year. I always said that if WA had Hawaii weather, it would be the most perfect place in the world.

Although I’ve lived in several places over the years…Pismo Beach, CA (foggy), Carslbad, CA (near-perfect weather 365 days a year, unless you like your winters cold and anything but 60+ degrees), Spring, TX (dear God, never again…made me hate all things Texas), San Jose, CA (nice, yellow, smoggy skies…ick), Bellingham, WA (the rain, she never ends!)…so, really, the 3 months of Tatooine-like weather never bothered me. Memorial day is generally hot enough to kick off bikini season, so really, it’s all good.

This year’s been grey so far, though. And wet. And cool (67F as I write this). It’s like the west-side weather is invading, and I’d really like to know who I can complain to about it.

I hate summer.

and have been a fan of winter. It’s easier to be warm when it’s cold outside than it it to cool off when it’s hot outside. Not to mention how disgusting it is to be drenched in sweat. Plus football is on in the winter! And Christmas! And my birthday! ; )

That said, living in the California valleys where it can be upwards of 80 degrees in the middle of the night (and I work nights, so I’m sleeping in the daytime) is not entirely comfortable.

of assuming that a “favorite season” survey is weather-related on a site full of die-hard football fans.

Autumn = football = my favorite season

Cry me a river. The Midwest is like Eden compared to North Florida (where I spent 6 years after growing up in the PNW), or South Carolina (where I’m stuck for the next two years).

As far as seasons go, I always liked spring and fall. It’s easy to say that your favorite season is the summertime when you live on the west coast where the summer weather is actually enjoyable.
