1. I live in Florida...................

and Spring means that all of the Snowbirds go home and leave us in peace. Summer in Florida is like living in hell, but there's a lot fewer assholes to put up with. Fall and winter aren't bad weather wise, but but the number of migratory nincompoops puts a whammy on the enjoyment.

2. P.S.

Love your picture of Hyacinth, I have a neighbor (again, during winter) that acts exactly like her. Her husband soooooo reminds me of Richard. I feel like Emmett.

5. Poor Emmet... Poor YOU! --- Run and HIDE!

No... POOR Richard. He's got to be the one character on television that I have the most sympathy for.

22. Exactly

It affects all aspects of life here. I work at a library, and my mom at a hospital, so we see a big increase in work when people migrate from the North.

3. Spring in Vancouver sucks

rain, rain,rain, rain rain,rain,

4. Spring In Maryland Is Beautiful

Solstice holidays help to make the winter tolerable... but the cold weather and shoveling snow really sucks. Summers are okay. I love the smell leaves in the fall... but springtime is the most beautiful when everything is that "bright" new shade of green. Pre-mosquitos, pre-heat.

6. I just LOVE the Fall...

I live in Los Angeles and there isn't much here but still you can feel a little difference in the air and the sunlight has a filtered look to it. I can drive a couple of hours away into another county and find a place where the leaves turn, beautiful. :-)

7. It's gotta be Fall

I live in Georgia where the Summers can be quite uncomfortable. Fall is always a very welcome change.

I'm originally from New England where the Falls are beautiful: crisp, clean(er) air, foliage, etc. I do miss New England Falls. :-)

Chicago is mostly cold nine months of the year.

10. WINTER

cold and nasty and long as possible, thank you! Maybe it's because I'm the daughter of a meteorologist, but I just LOVE inclement weather. Bring it on!!!

[arwalden]

12. Because you like the cold itself? Or because you like to be snug & warm...

... INSIDE with a big fire in the fireplace and a cup of hot chocolate---a nice warm cuddly blanket---slippers---a warm terry-cloth robe---and a good book?

16. no no, I just like the cold weather

the feel of it on my face; not having to sweat, no humidity. I don't care for fires at all.

11. Fall has always been my favorite season

Is there anything more beautiful than walking in the cool, crisp air under a canopy of fiery red trees??

13. Always been an AUTUMN girl......

I just love the smells, the air filled with wind and leaves, the colors, the angy dark clouds....

My favorite time of the year.

14. I'd Like The Fall MORE... If Only... If ONLY...

... Winter weren't right behind it.

Fall itself is gorgeous. I think I dislike it because of what it represents... what it foretells... the precursor to SNOW and ICE and bitterly cold winds. Ugh.

Let's just skip winter and go directly to early spring.

[DemExpat]

18. I really dislike the short, short days we have in in winter.....

but the shedding of the old to make way for pristine new is lovely and vital to my way of seeing it!

But the incubation of winter could be quite a bit shorter for my liking.

:hi:

15. "CAROLE! Carole KI-ING!"

Now who else is old enough to remember that skit?

[leftofthedial]

20. all you have to do is call

and I'll be there yes I will


JT had the bigger hit with it, but it's my favorite Carole King song.

17. Fall is like a second Spring in San Diego

Things start getting green.

But I hate the @#$%^)( *&^ snails.

19. This poll is fixed!

You are holding the poll in the fall, so naturally fall will win. I demand you repost this poll at a more neutral time!

21. I only acknowlege TWO seasons:

Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time. DST is, by far, my favorite. During Standard Time, I'd rather hibernate. :boring:ZZzzzzzzz

[Bombero1956]

23. definitely spring

HATE HATE HATE winter, never have so many suffered so just a few can ski. Fall is just a reminder of the coming dark cold miserable weather. I tolerate summer but I save my scorn for winter. Maybe it's because after 42 years of shoveling or plowing the shit, I'm just plain fed up with it. The shorter daylight hours don't help.

On edit. fighting fires in the winter is the worse.

[arwalden]

24. Your Parents Made You Plow and Shovel Snow As A Toddler??

How horrible!

-- Allen

[Bombero1956]

25. I was 5

I'm almost 48 now. My shovel was just a bit smaller. Here we are on the verge of falling back for 180 days, come on April hurry up!!

[populistmom]

26. Spring, love the Spring

Oh, anyone remember the Color Me Beautiful concept in the 80's? I am a Spring as well.

[TrogL]

27. Spring

Actually, it's summer but when summer's going on I fear for the first day of cool weather that tells me fall and :shiver: winter is coming, but spring is the leadup to summer.
