I love the change of seasons that Minnesota has. In a good year, we'll have an equal amount of time in each season (spring, summer, fall, winter) and 12 weeks each. Three months of winter isn't so bad, even when a cold night gets to -25ºF, especially if you have wood heat in the house, so it is economically feasible to have the livingroom at 80ºF, with a half inch of frost on the windows, LOL [smilie=1:
But in a bad year, when winter starts early (snow sticking to the ground in October) and finishes up late, with Blizzards in April...well, that's when I will get a little depressed and wishing I lived on the Baja peninsula [smilie=2:
