Summer or Wiinter?

There's no one that would dispute that the summer in the United States this year was brutal and challenging. Intense heat, storms, mudslides, wildfires...we had a lot of many different things.
I know that a lot of you are tired of the heat and are looking forward to the fall and winter. I like the cooler and crisp fall temperatures; but I DO NOT care for the winter that will follow. Most of you know that I would be willing to put up with the heat and humidity if we could move to the Florida Keys.
How about you? If you had to make a choice, would you choose summer or winter?
Why?

How about Spring or Fall weather with it staying light until 9 pm? One of our members suggested that!!!

I would love to live in an area that doesn't get s**w or really cold temps.

@rebelann We went to Arizona and didn't care for it there. We like oceans and greenery.

Gee, are those my only two options?
I prefer warmer weather, thank you.

@LindaOHio — I can warm up, I just need to drive about 750 miles to do it!

I prefer Winter because there are less bugs around and snakes and bears are hibernating.

@marlina Me too. We used to stay outside until we couldn't feel our fingers and toes. Now I don't like going from the house to the car in winter!!!!

I will take the winter in Oklahoma every time over the summer in Oklahoma. I cannot take so many days of temperatures over 100 degrees. My electricity bill in the summer is crazy, but in the winter it isn’t a burden at all. I can always put on two pairs of socks, but I can’t take my skin off to get cooler.
Not to mention, in my whole life here, we’ve only had one tornado in winter (2 years ago), whereas summer brings hundreds of those things.
Now, if I lived somewhere my pipes always froze over in winter I might feel differently. But, as long as I live in Oklahoma, I will always prefer winter.

You'd hate it here. It's gotten as cold as 20 below in my lifetime; and we are in the snow belt. Sometimes we get a couple of feet of s**w.

After another hot Florida summer if someone took me back to Latvia right now this winter I would hardly be inside at all but tramping through the delightful snow and the woods and I would not be cold at all,

It will be hot for us next week; and then we will have fall temperatures. The days are getting so short here. We've already lost an hour of daylight. Have a good weekend.

Winter all the way for me. I’m a winter baby. Was born December 24th. If it came down to it I’d rather have extreme cold than extreme heat.

I will deal with the summer heat any day over cold winter since most of my life I have lived in the warm weather in Panama and Louisiana.

We don't have winter. We got only 2 distinct seasons. The rainy or wet and dry ones. Today is rainy time.

The temperatures are still cool and inviting. Spring and Fall could be all year around as far as I'm concerned.
