5. My preferences are probably boring to most. As long as I get plenty of sun and predictable weather I'm happy!

My ideal weather is hot!!! Lower humidity, but hot. Two main reasons... It's easier to remove clothing than put more on (especially when outside and you don't have more clothes available), and the second reason is that girls like to show off their boobs in warmer weather. Those are always fun to look at. So why was Hot with Low Humidity NOT an option? Who put this poll together anyway? None of the options fit anyone that lives in the Sunbelt!!! Someone please fix this. I ended up voting for that "Mild, dry and sunny all year with no variation", but really that's still "mild". That's not hot or even warm for that matter. I am so unsatisfied. :/

Four seasons is the best to describe my preferences in this poll, though some might argue I just like a very long spring.

Well there comes a point where you can only take so much off before violating the law. I prefer dressing for cooler weather since it actually succeeds in keeping me comfortable, unlike typical summer attire IMO.

None of them express my preference, but of the options given I like number one the best. Expressed in conventional terms I'd prefer long, very cold and very snowy winters coupled with short, cool summers, with low humidity year-round. I do not like humid conditions, occasional or otherwise. I'd prefer for them to be totally absent, like a dew point in the 20's all summer. Also I don't like the language "great fall and spring", as this usually implies conditions too warm for what I'd like. Why are there no options for lovers of a boreal climate like myself? And while you're at it include options for constant heat and humidity, tundra, and ice cap climates too.

I may also add that the notion of being easier to remove layers befits someone who is a native of Greenland or the North Slope of Alaska, and does not reflect the harsh realities of daily life experienced by those in hot-summer climates, who have already stripped down to minimum clothing and are still uncomfortable (and even if they were nude it wouldn't help much). Besides, I like for me and the rest of my fellow citizens to be able to retain some dignity, rather than be forced to strip down to revealing clothing, and I think people look better in thicker, layered clothing. More layers also provide more options and thus enables more customization and variation. Shorts and t-shirts being the only thing that can be worn really cuts down on the potential variation. You may like that sort of climate, and that's fine with me, but it is true that there are far more combination possible with two or three layers of clothing than one layer (it's mathematical fact), and thus cold makes more sense in certain fashion contexts.

I hear ya on this one.

Given the choice of the above, I would gladly accept the four seasons, since it's a better deal then what I've got right now...lol.

As for the shorts and t-shirt thing, due to my propensity of feeling hot all the time, that's pretty much my outfit 7 or 8 months a year, day in and day out. Even in winter, it's just jeans and a short-sleeve shirt, very rarely long-sleeved, and sweaters, oh, I don't own any...lol. Problem is, when you're 45 years old and still dress like a kid, people tend to not take you seriously. But I can't stand being hot, so shorts and t-shirts it is, ad infintum.

Oh boy, it's gonna be a long summer...

My ideal is absent.. (i.e. hot and humid year round with no variation) but out of the choices presented.. my favourite is the last one... mild, sunny and dry all year with no variation.
