I thought that was Chicago, where they say there are only two
seasons, snow removal and road repair. Or alternately, road
removal and snow repair.

In northern California we also have two seasons: wet and dry.
Thus, our vegetation turns green not in the summer, as in some
other places, but from about November till May or so.

Chicago has two seasons:  Winter and Construction.

You forgot our third season -- Pot Hole Repair. It's almost August, and it's
way over due! :-)

After three winters here, this Texas girl has had just about enough.
Unfortunately, moving costs money, and there really isn't one place
that has the
"perfect" climate unless you believe in Camelot....

I really love the weather here... because I need four seasons.. and yep,
even winter works for me.
We moved all over the South (KY, TN, Miss, NC...) for almost 20 years
following jobs, so I was over the moon to have made it back here to home
turf a few years ago! Some of us have zero tolerance for extreme heat, even
dry, or worse if you add humidity. Could never live in Arizona or Florida,et
al.

And I'll never tell you that you'll 'adjust or acclimatize' to a Midwestern
winter... People kept saying that when we lived in Mississippi. "You'll get
used to it." It never happened.. I still prefer cool over warm any day...
but that's just me. A sunny fall day, 68-70 degrees --that is perfection, at
least for me ..

Right, I'm not all that anxious to go back to blistering heat either,
although the humidty in August here can be a killer for me.
Chris (DH) keeps telling me I'll get used to Midwest winters. I don't
think he's going to be right on that one, though.
Chris loves four seasons too, and insists the winters make us
appreciate the other three more. Well, maybe in his case...
All it does for me is make me appreciate spring and summer more, and
with fall comes dread of our feels-like-never-ending winter....
I must say though, we have gorgeous, gorgeous fall color here that I
wasn't used to in my part of Texas. Mainly because in my part of
Texas there were no trees!
