Fall means outside without sweating and no forest fires, here. Fall rocks.

Wrod.

We've having October weather in November, which gives us a longer fall than usual, but it also means we have serious winter weather in March. Winter has started later and lasted later for a few years now, which makes spring pretty much a time of "I hope the buds on the plants don't freeze" and "well, the last snow drifts will at least melt quickly in May."

I grew up mostly in South Carolina and I remember distinct seasons, mild though they may have been compared to, say, Minnesota. I miss autumn and winter. Autumn is my favorite season.

Missouri has very distinct seasons. It can get insanely hot and humid in summer and bitterly cold in winter, but fall and spring are great and fairly long. Explains why the roads are crap though.

I Pfft your Pfft.

New York has 4 seasons, but spring here is way too short.

Yeah.

All the other cites Hec cited were on a coast somewhere (except Canada?).

Now I'm wondering - is Chicago the largest city in the world to not be on/near the coast of a sea or ocean?

Well, we all know that's the Real America.
