I don’t know if I can decide. Like you, I think the freshness and regeneration of Spring is lovely, but I’m also a bit of a beach bum so Summer is always best for that. I also really love Winter, nothing like rugging up when it’s cold or cuddling on the couch with someone special.
Only when I’ve visited the snow fields here in winter (there’s a resort called Perisher in the Kusciozko Mountains in NSW that is quite magical) and a few times when I lived in New Zealand.
You are already totally crazy you syrup guzzling hockey puck!
The Daffodils are pushing through the frost here and soon the sweltering days of SUMMER will be upon us…
You laughed at my misery during all of last Winter but soon, VERY soon the world will be mine🌞😎
i give the edge to fall over spring, because, while i enjoy the moderate temps during spring, and i enjoy getting out on my bike after a long winter, you also have the fact that it's going to be followed by months and months of grinding heat and humidity. months of sweaty, sleepless nights. grinding, brutal, relentless heat.
Another reason I like fall over spring is the absence of the air thick with pollen that covers everything in yellow/greenish dust. I too like the fact that with fall, the heat and humidity of the summer is far off. So is having to mow the lawn.
yes - that too. i never had problems with pollen or spring/summer air in general until i hit my 40s, it seemed to me. but since that time spring means burning eyes & lots of sneezing.
My preference is spring/summer/fall/winter. Spring is about exiting that long, dark tunnel of winter. I see fall like you see spring - long, dark winter follows the beauty of fall.
Yesterday I took my first walk along the Mississippi River since last fall. It's been cold and rainy/snowy for nearly a month here. Yesterday was the first decent, dry day we've had in weeks and I didn't want to miss it. Not much emerging or blooming yet, but it won't be long. I'll walk again today and tomorrow, and then we're in for several more days of cold rain mixed with snow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
we've had an unusually cool spring as well. there's still tons of snow around - last year at this time, i think we were snow-free for about 3 weeks.
i actually just got back from my first bike ride of the year. this is the first day where it was decent enough that i could get the mountain bike out for a few hours. it was messy and i'm absolutely caked with mud (i just walked in the door), but it was a lot of fun.
looks like we're in store for what you're getting too - temps hovering around zero, snow & rain.
We see cold weather for several months out of the year, and with times under freezing also. Our problem is the high humidity that makes it feel worse than it actually is.
i've never experienced that, but i've heard many times over the years that near-freezing temps with high humidity will chill you in a way that people in relatively dry air spots can't appreciate. i've heard people on the east coast say that, for eg.
I like the first couple of months of spring only because it's a change. But by the end of May it starts getting too warm. I can do without the summer, especially July and August.
