Not getting four seasons.

[CastletonSnob 3,079]

It really sucks living in Texas, where I don't get to enjoy four distinct seasons like everyone else. Wish I could move up north. What are seasons like where you live?

[Midnight Blaze 98 1,138]

Here in England seasons are ok, but I would love a bit more sun in the summer!

When I saw this thread I thought you meant mlp wasn't going to be carrying on for the next four seasons at first! Thank goodness not.

Here in southeast Michigan we have all four seasons. In the spring and fall, sometimes 4 seasons in the same day. It's a big part of why our roads get so trashed. Also you're not missing anything not having winter. It's only fun for the first snow, then it gets old pretty quick.

Are you kidding I moved from California were we have the seasons of hot, hotter, and hottest to northern Virginia where we have all four seasons and I love to snow!!

Here in Tennessee, it's hot one part of the year, and then cold the other part. There is barely an in-between.

I wish it was just late spring/early fall all the time. Hot is bad. Cold is bad. Winter is terrible and anyone who likes it should be put in stocks and made a public example of.

Unfortunately I live in Ontario so we get all the real seasons.

[Pony Flutters 535]

The places I've lived in, it's mostly just hot with barely any cool outside the winter, and even during winter it can sometimes still go up to 80 degrees F. It sort of annoys me when everyone keeps talking about the change of seasons when I can't experience any. I even legitimately believe that living in a place of constant heat is responsible for my lack of ambition and drain on my energy levels. It doesn't help that most of the world's problems come from constantly hot areas.

...And living in a place that is hot all of the time with barely any scenery changes or temperature variations never gets old? At least snow only lasts a few months.

In SoCal there's summer, summer, summer, and cloudy summer.

[Thuja 3,659]

I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada.  The last two years have been a little unpredictable with the weather, 30 degree weather in the fall and 15 degree weather in the summer this year and last year there was a lot of mid 30 degree weather in the summer and barely any snow in the winter.  Above that I really do love having 4 season weather.

[CastletonSnob 3,079]

I'm thinking about moving to a state where you get four distinct seasons. What are the best states to go?

Holy shit is that you? Like the same Nine that welcomed me to MLPF back in 2014?

A lot of people don't understand your pain, but I do. As I'm sure I've made a HUGE deal about over the last year, and before.

But it was last year that it got so bad that it made me utterly depressed. After years of very weak winters one would think that I would be numbed to it, but that's not going to happen. Last year, to make matters worse it stayed hot into November. Over the years I had given up and accepted that fall didn't come until mid-October at earliest. I thought that was ridiculous. And then come "Fall" of 2016. It's hitting the mid 80s consistently in the middle of November.

November is supposed to be nice and chilly. It's supposed to be the stereotypical fall weather that people always talk about looking forward to... But nope, it was hot. The trees hadn't really even changed, either. It was still almost as green as summer. In the middle of November.

And then of course, the winter was nearly non-existent. I remember December having some chilly stretches, but then by the Winter Solstice it was hitting the 70s for highs. One more little chilly spell in early January with a dusting of snow, and then it was warm to hot for the majority of the rest of the "winter".

This (alongside political reasons) makes me want to move faarrrr away for graduate school. Somewhere in the Northeast where Autumn, Winter, and Spring are still actually a thing. I wish I didn't have to leave my family, but I don't think my family could blame me anymore.

When I was younger I liked winter, but now I mostly find it annoying.

I would LOVE for it to always be spring/summer. A lot of things I like to do need warm weather. Also, the short, cold, and mostly cloudy gray days make me feel crappy.

The only other place that I would want to move would probably be Arizona.

As I noted in my last post - a lot of people just can't understand.

People in general prefer the heat, Spring, and Summer. It is so deeply ingrained into our culture that warmer weather and seasons = happiness. It's very weird to feel the opposite, isn't it? It's as if our experiences and feelings are invisible.

I certainly felt crushed last year when it stayed hot into November. I need seasons away from the heat. But we can't get that anymore. The air gets stale, humid, and super warm even during the winter now, as well. It really gets to me somewhere deep down, and makes me feel very down. And no one understands because culture in general thinks that hot, miserable weather is associated with happiness.

I can see people wishing away winter when it's constantly cold and there is constantly snow on the ground. But what they don't understand is that in locations where this not only doesn't happen, but where winter is being reduced even more as each year goes by, there are people will be messed with by the lack of winter. How can one look forward to Spring, when no real winter comes before it to make a contrast?

In Southern Cali it's warm in the summer and relatively mild the rest of the time. I don't miss the extreme cold because I used to live in the Northeast and it was brutal. Having four distinct seasons can be overrated. Anything below 50 degrees F is cold enough for me.

Summer, winter,even more winter, and road construction.

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

The winters are very cold and the summers are very hot, that's how it is where I live.

Here in Scotland we get... rain... rain... rain.... rain... rain... erm... rain... rain...

sun for a week and then more rain

[Treeglow Flicker 13,852]

The UK seasons are divided up into different bits. You get the bit with the constant drizzle. The bit with the stagnant cold air. The bit with the rain and gloom. The bit with the freezing mist and fog. The bit where it is raining one minute and then sunny the next. The bit with more rain and drizzle. The bit with yet more freezing cold air accompanied by a lot of darkness. The bit with more gloom. But then you do get the bit that gives you about 1-4 weeks of hot weather which decides to make up for lost time and tries to cook you where you sit or stand.

Welsh version is even more fun - you can have three or four of those running at once, all in different valleys, so if you are journeying between towns, you get to experience all that are available

So I remember. I lived in Wales for a couple of years.

Well, what can be more appropriate than a welsh dragon-horse?

Well for me fall comes over a 3 day weekend in october then its hard winter (with minor blips of summer) then we do summer winter summer winter till about march. Then spring comes for about 3 days followed by another hard winter freeze then its blazing summer till about next october.

Like you said. Texas.
