I'm hot and grumpy and everything aches. Roll on winter!

We don't really get proper seasons anymore though. It's just drizzle from November to March, actually nice weather in March and April, followed by searing heat from late May to early October and then back to drizzle again. Winter no longer exists and summer takes up half the year

I mean, I distinctly remember going sledging with the kids 3 or 4 times during the winter, building a snowman, and defrosting my car every morning for many weeks. I also remember my plants not growing as I planted them too early. We definitely still have proper seasons.

Where do you live? I'm in the east and we had basically no snow (none of it settled) and there were only about 2 weeks where I even had to scrape ice off my car
