I could live in a place where it snows all the time during winter. Every day, and lots of it. I just hate when it snows 2-4 inches and then it’s brutally cold for weeks at a time after with nothing else happening.
Vertical snow, yes. Horizontal snow, no.

June, July, and August are the best months. Can’t wait until I can retire and live in perpetual heat somewhere. Humidity is a bonus.

This. I agree wholeheartedly. March, April, and May come in second. I hate winter and dislike fall because I know winter is coming and I am tired of raking leaves. The World Series, football, and chili are the only good things about fall.

Some of y'all are really weird talking about loving super cold days, lol. Best days are mid-60's during the day and then 40/50's at night. I could use those temps from about now through January, one month of snow and cold and then back to spring.

you are one month off perfection. Snowy December so that we have a white Christmas. Then, it can return to spring weather

Saw where Denver and the Front Range were 100+ degrees on Saturday and Sunday and then measurable snow today. Weather geeks are researching and having 100 degree temps and snow within 48 hours might be a new all time record.

Bring on the snow!!! Just not the cold;)

and we were dealing with the smoke and ash from the Cameron Peak fire this weekend too.

Need to do year round DST. The worst part of the year is when we shift back to standard in time.
No way! I was an ISU student in the early 1970s when the US stayed on DST year-round. I had a 7:30-9:00 am lecture with the sun not raising until 7:45 am. Children at bus stops in the dark is not good. Farmers also hated it because their work is dictated by the sun.
