Time of year
Yeah, in Bloomington, the town that prides itself on never closing school for anything we need at least a foot.Me wrote:Where I live, that's not much of a problem because it hardly ever snows.

Millions of huge mosquitoes and the humidity is horrendous. So I would vote fall or winter. I love all the colors of the leaves turning there (here everything is evergreen) and I love the snow. In Oregon, probably winter or fall. I don't like it as much when it snows here because no one is prepared for it and they act like it is the end of the world. At least people know how to deal with snow in MN.

And Jessicado, I take it you haven't visited during a snowstorm? Other than that, we do have lead feet.

Ha, that's interesting. Three inches is nothing here in Ottawa. Try fifteen to twenty inches.Me wrote:Where I live, that's not much of a problem because it hardly ever snows. When we get 3 inches, the city pretty much shuts down.

That's what I mean! (But since I live right by you it would make sense that we have the same experience)........Towns shut completely down and have no idea how to deal with this weird white cold substance that falls from teh skyMe wrote:Where I live, that's not much of a problem because it hardly ever snows.

My pet peeve is still the driving here though--people drive like 15 miles an hour on the freeway and then constantly slam on their brakes and then so do all the people behind them If you're gonna constantly slam on your brakes then only go 5 mph!!!

OK--you got me on the snowstorm part! Usually people wait for the snowstorm to subside and then go out and dragrace............

I love Spring! I don't like all the rain we get here, but I do like the days when it is sunny for a while, then rainy with some hail and then sunny again. I also like how everything turns green again after winter. Summer is also a nice season because I prefer to be too warm over being too cold.
I would like winter more than I do now if we would actually get some snow instead of rain.
