What's your favorite season?

If you had to choose a favorite which would it be and why?

I like fall because:

not too hot
not too cold
no allergies or allergy-ridden people
great barbeque / beer drinking weather
football
foliage
no annoying insects like mosquitos

In the past few years I've come to hate winter. I want to move somewhere that doesn't have winter - not Boston Jim.

Fall. Gorgeous colors, a fire in the fireplace, stormy at times. Love the sound of rain on the roof.

Winter. Doing anything outside is exercise, skiing, turn down the heat and throw another log on the fire, driving is alot more fun (empty parking lots are the best), and beautiful scenery.

I usually like fall, but not so much this year. Last month it was 90 degrees, and now this month it's 40.

late fall here in the desert is the best, not windy yet, or too hot(115) or too cold(30)

Fall here is irritatingly unpredictable. It alternates between 50 and 85 degrees from October to December, sometimes within a single day. The leaves don't change color, they just eventually freeze on the trees where they are. And at the tail end come the holidays, which--due to extended family--are mostly a pain in the ass.

Spring is much better.

As another Florida resident, my favorite season is "not hot, fewer hurricanes," which is usually October - May.

But "fall" is probably my favorite time of year. Everyone bunkers down for winter and the holidays, and we always make sure to throw open the windows and enjoy the nice breeze. I also like how the balance tips during fall, from the bright, active energy of summer to a more mellow, introspective feel during winter.

Autumn is my favourite season. I love the hint of distant bonfires on the wind in the evening, the colours in the woods, the crackle of cold leaves underfoot. I also love the sweet sense of melancholy that seems to come with Autumn and the drawing in of the nights. By winter, the barren landscape becomes treacherous underfoot and the short days and long nights have lost their spice and become inconvenient. Mostly though I think some part of me is still a five year old, for whom the onset of autumn brings the promise of festivals to come.

Winter, I have learned to hate the cold.

Spring, Nice, but down here there are way to many bugs coming out at that time.

Summer, Ahhhhh.... now the season begins. All the toys come out, esp the boat and jet ski. We love it. The sun!

Fall, a close runner up to summer because it lasts so long here. It does not even begin to cool off until around the end of Oct. I am still wearing shorts every day but it has started to dip into the 30's in the night, with highs in the 70's during the day. And on top of that I get to really gin up the outdoor fireplace so it is a close second to Summer for me.

In the mediterranean climate of southern Australia, spring has pleasant temperatures but still enough water about (usually!) for growth and life. Autumnal temperatures are good too, but things are often still dead from the summer dry.
Winter is a little cold and gray.
Summer is just too damn hot, although around dusk and moonlit summer nights totally rock.

In Japan, winter is shitty cold and summer is shitty hot and the transitions are just too damn fast. Spring flower-viewing is lovely, as are the autumn leaves.

Very nice Dana, very poetic.......

The desert has nine months of beautiful weather..Fall, Winter and Spring. They are almost interchangeable temperature-wise, just the difference in the leaves on the trees.(Or not on the trees)

Then comes summer and all the snowbirds that were here sucking up our nice weather during fall and winter head back to their normal homes and the traffic on the streets gets a little better.

As hot as it is, there is no smell quite like the desert after a summer rain.

I guess I like them all equally, for different reasons.
