I think people who like extremes are in the minority. Most just want to be comfortable - high 60s to low 80sF (20s C).

Me too, but my carefree temps are 75-89 F.
I don't prefer the coolnes of high 60's/low 70's F, which is virtually everywhere public, indoors.

My fictional, new Canadian season:

- Seasonal temps mean highs between 87-95 F (31-35 C)
- Cool fronts could mean highs down to the low 80's F (27-28 C)
- Hot spells are 96-103 F (36-39 C)

- Seasonal lows mean lows between 68-74 F (20-23 C)
- Record low mornings might reach 63 F (17 C)
- Hot spells may have lows as warm as 83 F (28 C)
This is NYC's Summer practically down to the T lol.

I vote Summer (no matter where it is). I'd take 80's/90's/100's over 30's/40's/50's.

Where I live we don't really get a Winter, when there's precipitation its mostly in the form of rain, snow is becoming more rare while days in the 60's/70's are becoming more common.

I don't like extremes of temperature. I'll take Spring and Fall.

I get an excellent dairy farming newspaper twice a month that is printed in Minnesota.

Every issue they interview different farmers about various topics and always aske the question--------" Which of the two temp extremes in Minnesota would you rather see, above 90 or below -20 ? "

Nearly everyone who has to work outside and battle the elements pick---" above 90"

Above 90F and very low humidity is not bad.
Below -20F with no wind is not too bad.
Above 90F with humidity is very bad
Below -20F with wind is horrid.

I can only dream...
*Further proof you live somewhere (vaugely) sub-tropical.

Summers here mean 70's F and low 80's F are the normal highs,
with mid 50's F to mid 60's F being common overnight lows;
it's not "normal" for a swim to feel "refreshing" unless you've been excerising.
(which means you're usually very-cold when you get out )

Winter here can mean a chance of 1-2 days in a month reaching 40+ F,
and having at least 25 days of the other days in the month with highs below freezing.

That's Melbourne's summer down to a T

Well next week will be more like highs of 70-80F and lows 50-55F

90, imho, is not nearly as extreme as -20....so that's not really that reliable of a source.

Anyway, I choose winter....not a southern Florida winter, but anything north of Cincinnati has nice winters
