What is the most scenic time of year where you live (snowy, record)

Sure it is, but some of it melts, turns dirty, snows again, then bare brown ground, foggy, damp, overcast. The winter wonderland look stays for maybe a week, in Lapland it stays for the whole winter.

Spring. There aren't a ton of wildflowers here, but spring is the wet season, so everything is nice and green. Things are pretty much fully leafed out by mid-April. The grass turns brown in summer if you don't water it. You can also see nice cloud formations because spring storm season. Fall foliage seems to involve leaves just turning brown and falling off sometime in mid-November to early-December, without much good color. Most of winter looks dead and brown because we have few evergreens. If fall color was better or winter was snowier, one of those might be the most scenic seasons.

Note: Fall foliage might be better in other years, but my only fall here was the second warmest on record. Spring has been warmer than normal too, so it might come a bit later on average.

It's not unusual to see the grass looking like this in Portsmouth during the summer...

Wow, that looks like Savannah, but probably not unexpected in a place that can grow palms like that!

Rainfall here and in London is more or less identical (603mm vs 602mm), but the distribution of it is slightly different. Our summer is wetter than London's summer, while London's autumn is wetter than our autumn.

And, as mentioned, different soil types retain water at different rates.

mid-October. Fall colors, clear skies- the air is that perfect mixture of life and death.

Fall. Then Winter with snow, then Spring. Since the question is "scenic" not colorful, thats the order I say.

And London is generally hotter during the summer.
