I hate the extreme cold and the extreme heat that comes with the midwest's seasons. I like my temps to be between 40 degrees and 80 degrees... nothing more, nothing less.

We live in the California desert, near Palm Springs. I hate the summer heat, sometimes 120 degrees. Everything is airconditioned inside but when the outside is over 110 it hurts to go shopping. It's only bad for about 3 months, the rest of the year is wonderful.

Yes, I love summer! And yes, the mosquitos bite me. But I use Off on my clothes not on my skin and that helps a lot.

I love the flowers and the swimming and the cookouts. After 6 months of cold weather I finally get a chance to go out side and see things that are living not dorment. Birds, bushes, flowers, weeds, etc.

As my son says, If you want perfect weather go to San Diego. Well I grew up in California and can't stand the smog and traffic. When I was little they used to have smog alerts telling you not to let your child out to play as it was unsafe. They don't bother anymore.

By the way, he is now in the Northeast as the fires in California evacuated him a few years ago and his neighbors were burnt out.

I'll take the summer anytime!

I hate the humidity. I also break out in hives if I spend too much time in the sun. All that considered I can't explain why I love camping so much. I do though. DGD can't wait to go.

Humidity, heat above 80, and all the bugs that get into my apartment. Humidity makes my brain feel waterlogged and saps my mental abilities as well as my energy.

What I hate about winter is that it rarely gets cold enough to really snow in southeastern PA, so we end up with a wretched "wintry mix" of rain, snow and ice.

I live in the northeast, last summer was perfect. It did not get hot or very humid (except for one horrid week). I loved it. 70's partly sunny during the day, nice and cool at night for sleeping. The humidity here is usually brutal, that's what I dislike the most.

I do not like the heat, humidity, the sweating, at all. Nor do I like mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, fleas or flies. We have to treat our dogs for ticks & fleas and I would really rather not use chemicals on them. But have to do what we have to do, to keep them healthy.

Snakes, I want to go raspberry picking sooo bad, but I am so scarred of snakes, I can't go. I need to get over this fear, but it just get's worse as I get older.

Summer: I love it! But I could do without bugs and humidity.
Fall: Absolutely my favorite season. Perfect temp is about 75.
Winter: I love big snowflakes at Xmas. I love a good snowstorm (as long as I don't have to go anyplace). I do not like slush, ice, bitter cold, or ugly snow (you know...after it has been plowed and gets black looking).
Spring: My least favorite season...I do not like wind, rain, or mud.
