It's summer now (I think), which I usually enjoy. I think it's my favourite season. What's yours? Winter comes second for me, then Autumn, but Spring's rubbish, I mean it's just a nothing. Discuss.

That is why i love being a prarie boy. You know in your bones when its time for the earth to change. Yuo get used to the April snow storm and the thunder in july .

Yes, Sterling, but there are temperature adjustments, and summer is damn warm. ;-) Me, I'm a summer fanatic, both for the heat and the long days (and comfortable nights). Winter works up through Christmas and New Year's -- then I *despise* it and wish it gone. It may only be cloudy days and sometimes rain around here, but still -- and the short days suck. Spring is fun, autumn is there.

Ned, you hoser, you don't have winters there. :P

Favorite: late fall. Runner up: winter. Dud: summer.

Me like autumn. It's still warm, not as oppresively hot as summer, and October = my birthday!

AND I AM GLAD OF IT, young man. You can have your arctic blasts as you shiver in the cold. ;-)

Autumn is definitely the favorite. Partly because I HATE HATE HATE the summer heat and humidity, and the gradual change from heat to cool to cold I like. I'm also a sucker for fall foliage -- not only in the countryside, but even in the city (I love the way the streets look when the leaves turn on the trees planted along the sidewalks).

I like the first month or so of winter, esp. the first snowfall. And I don't mind the cold at all, at least if it isn't Arctic frigid (though even that has its appeal). It's also easier to escape the cold than the heat and it's a great excuse to wear any of my zillions of sweaters. That said, winter gets old after mid-January or so.

I hate summer with a passion. I get terribly sick and break out in the sun. I like winter and fall best. Spring has far too many plants blooming for my liking.

winter, autumn, spring, summer - I think i have reverse seasonal depression, alternatively am alergic to heat - break out in big rashes yukkkk

What's wrong with Spring? I adore Spring.

When I lived in London I used to really love winter. But two winters in sheffield, dark rainy, sleety, horizontal ice episodes, and when its snows it quickly becomes ice which makes it impossibnle to get anywhere because ice on hills=me on my arse (Sheffield is like rome because its built on 7 hill, oh yes just like Rome). And 1 einter here in Turin, Fog from november to march.

autumn is pretty cool though. I still like clear crisp feburary days tramping across the moors outside sheffield though.

Spring and autumn are grand. Summer's even better if you can be outside and drinking beer, but shit if you're stuck in a sweaty office with no air conditioning and a very high density of PCs.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Autumn is my favourite, it's got falling leaves and pretty colours and the smell of bonfires, and the weather is perfect for the wearing of jumpers and cordouroys. Spring is next, because it's warm but not too warm, and I can still wear jumpers, and oh the pretty flowers, I'm a sucker for blossoms. Then winter, but only if there's snow. London winters do not count, I want my snow. Summer is my least favourite. It goes on and on forever and never stops, and it is so boring, I have awful flashbacks to schooldays and having to come up with entertainments for self for months on end. And I hate the weather.

The first month of any season is great, but after a while I just get fed up with it. Winter is particularly bad though. The dark drag through January and February can be really terrible. I can't be completely happy unless it's still light when I leave work.

― Madchen, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Winter is my favourite, nothing beats sitting around in front of the fire, and the impending darkness at 3:30 pm, the weak sunshine, the frost..., Autumn is next, it would be first, but I don't think we ever have good autumns, it's usually just wet...if they were golden and crisp and dry they'd be first. In Autumn and Winter I feel much more alive. Summer I'm not keen on, too hot, too many people outside, noisy, pollution, hayfever, nothing to do, too much daylight...I think I suffer from seasonally affected disorder in reverse. Did I forget spring?, oh well.

― james e l, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No seasons at ALL in Cali.

I don't have a favorite season anymore. it used to be winter but I also like Autumn, then I realized I really like summer too. The only one I'm not fond of is Spring because the weather is too crazy and stupid.

― Ally, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Just forgot... the other reason I hate summer is because the sun comes up around 4am and it doesn't get completely dark until 11! Like, what is this, Iceland or something? Oh, the damned gulf stream keeping this island from being a hunk of ice in the Northern Atlantic.

Usually I am a summer starbaby, but not this year. No, I am a winter lucky child

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I used to really hate summer, the same reasons listed above: too hot, sunburn, opressive heat tiring you out...but winter can be painful too, that horrible feeling when your feet/hands/legs are just REALLY frozen, uggh...I'm pretty near balding too, that's such an added danger. If I get sunburned on my scalp, I'll have that Star-Trek-alien scalp effect bald people get. Good god, lemme avoid that!

I will say this for summer, though-- it has a lot of sensory delights. While it feels crummy in a hot car, that interior-baking smell can be kinda fragrant...well, okay, how about suntan oil and honeysuckle, then? Also, sometimes that tired-in-intense-heat thing can feel sorta like a drunken state...

I live near Washington DC and I have to say Ally's complaint about spring applies here. There is NO spring! It's extended winter, weird mix, then heat....however, 2000 and 2001 summers (so far) MUCH MUCH milder than the past couple decades (but not enough rain, perhaps more El Nino-induced garbage?).

Fall is okay.

Don't mock El Ninio!

Fall in Boston is the best season ever. The summer is dreadful, and well there is no Spring anymore. In Southern California, late winter/early spring is the worst because all the rainfall for the whole year is saved up until then. The rest of the year in California is pretty close to the same, but it does get a little warmer in summer-though never gets as hot as New Orleans in February! (that doesn't include the desert)

Order of preference: Autumn, Spring, Winter, Summer.

one year passes...

Possibly Cookie's best thread ever.

― the pinefox, Thursday, 24 April 2003 23:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

three years pass...

Fall is probably the objective best in the Northeast US. But I've become more of a Spring and Summer fan the last few years. I don't think this is merely meteorological.
