All in all, i like the change in weather, too hot, cold, rainy, etc. for too long is boring and drives me nuts… We didnt get a winter here last year, maybe 5-7 days of sub 8°, on the other hand we had an extended and amazing spring all the way through the end of June. (in contrast to last year we were in winter jackets in may, then in 2 wks it pegged 34° and stayed there until Sept…no bueno)
