The only problem is the usual lack of full spring/fall weather and the abruptness of Winter’s onset. But this year we’ve had some really nice fall weather. I’m from Florida of all places and haven’t thought the winters were crazy or anything. Although my wife, a native, thinks I’ve gotten off easy the past 4 years. Anyway, it just sounds like a case of lazyasswriter syndrome.

I’ll take our summer, spring, and especially fall over any other city.

We only have to endure 1-2 measureable snowfalls per season. And it seems to snow less and less each year.

I’m glad the perception is still there though, it keeps the narrow minded out.
