But winter should not last more than three months. I prefer Mediterranean weather like in Italy or Croatia, with a lot of sun, dry summer, moist spring and short, snowy winter.
I don't like long winters. I especially do not like black ice on parking lots, sidewalks and on roads. I don't like cleaning snow off my car: ice is even worse. I hate that I must get bundled up and wear shoes to go outside. Going for a quick trip to the store is a pain.
I was born on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. I lived in Mobile, AL until I was almost seven. Then we moved down to Morgan City, LA, where I lived until the summer I was 11. I love the bright sunshine on the Gulf, but not the very humid heat of summer. I lived in Hawaii, which has beautiful weather, all year long. They have bright sun like the coast. They say they have two seasons, Summer and Winter. There is no autumn or spring. Winter time it got down to 62 Fahrenheit. Not very cold! But they wear light jackets in "winter."
