Well, my wife sometimes complained about the lack of seasons when we lived in the Bay Area of Northern California.
I always looked at her as though she were an alien from another planet when she'd make such statements. :-P

I guess, because my early childhood years were in Santa Rosa, where I was "spoiled" by such a temperate (wonderful!) climate, and then dragged to Utah, where it's a study in extremes of weather, climate, and terrain (nice to visit, especially for hiking, skiing, etc. but HATED living there).
Although I'll admit it always did seem weird to have the Christmas tree setup, and not have even a hint of white (snow) outside, at most, maybe some rain "greening up" everything. But it was a "sacrifice" I was more than happy to "put up" with. :-P
Anyhow, now that we're in Spokane, WA, we definitely have four seasons again.
Southern Idaho was far worse (a little worse than Utah even), and Spokane is generally more temperate than Utah or Idaho, but certainly nothing as moderate as northern California.
Anyway, I like it here, it's a good, close "second" in weather, and the quality of life here is far better than in Cali, because of the lower cost of living, and lower population density.
But, this week, we're getting DUMPED on by snow.
You saw the earlier posting about the Crown Victoria in the ditch. And the moose on the road (if not, well then scroll down and read them and view the pics).
We have many inches of snow now, and the kids are LOVING it!
Alas, as of today, I can't even get the car on the road, because it lacks the clearance to get through the depth of snow on the road (piles up on the bumper), and Karina has the Red Bronco for her craft fair, and the black bronco still has the broken ring gear on the flywheel, so very hard to start it.
The kids wanted me to take them to Holmberg park on such a great snow day, but it will have to wait alas. And I need a means to get to the library to pick up keys for the meeting tomorrow there, hopefully the Red Bronco will be back in time for me to get down there in time.
Anyhoo, here's some pics (click the images to see larger versions):







Our north facing deck (it's a little over 70' long and 4.5' wide on the north side, with an east side (covered) measuring about 16'x32') covered in snow.







Looking north from deck and our backyard, our gorgeous view of the forest around/below us, covered in snow. This will be even better when the sun comes out (eventually). ;-)







Part of our front yard, and the snow covered road. We live on a nice cul-de-sac dead end road, which is great for kids, but is the last to get plowed.







Part of a nother piece of our front yard, looking at the kids sledding on the neighbor's front yard.
