Right now, here in Western Ky the heat index is 104. I went out in the garden earlier to harvest and took a friend of mine some banana peppers, tomatoes, jalapenos, cucumbers, green beans and zucchini. [ hell of a crop this year ]
He was outside when I drove up and commented "I can't wait till Winter"..
Why ? There's nothing to do in Winter.
In Summer, you can go fishing, have a cookout, go to amusement parks, mow the yard, grow a garden and have fresh vegetables, fruit trees are just waiting to be picked, see women in bikinis, go on vacation and see women in bikinis, sit out on the porch in the evening and have a cigar, the grass and trees are green, flowers blooming, birds chirping...the list is endless.
In Winter you can.....well, you could still go fishing but I don't and my philosophy about grilling is if the snow is not deep enough to cover the grill, you're fine.
Other than that, Winter is mind numbingly boring and miserable. I hate cold and there's nothing to do.
Need proof ? If you take a little vacation in Winter, where do you go ? That's right, SOMEWHERE WARM
I rest my case.

If you want some weird weather come visit the north of Scotland where I live and you really do get 4 seasons in a day .
2 weeks a go the television was saying the hottest spring on record while out my window I was watching the pathway and grass vanish in white hail stones .

That's on my bucket list. Back in the 80s my Dad hired a Genealogist to trace our family line. We've been in America since 1680, but are Scottish/Irish so I'd like to see where I came from.

I have a Brother in Law that lives in Augusta. He's from Illinois and has 2 little girls who had never seen snow. They had a reunion in Illinois during the Winter a couple years ago and it was amazing to see those 2 playing in snow for the first time.

I hate to break it to you, but we get snow in Australia you know. No-one here has to go "Norf" to find snow.
Every Winter the Australian Alps are covered in snow. Most of southern Tasmania gets snow. A couple of southern cities have had snow. Thank goodness, nothing like Northern America or Europe to Asia. You know there was an Ice age in Australia too?
FYI the First and Oldest Ski club in the World, is in Australia!! The Kiandra Snow Shoe Club, formed in 1861.
