Or not on the Gulf Coast. Because here, our seasons are:

Summer
Not Summer

with summer being the much longer-lived season

I would guess that's in the warmer months when the ground isn't frozen solid

For us, that's all year round. Plus, the "cold water tap" is only cold in the Not Summer months. In August it's often the "warm water tap"

After a blazing hot Summer, we cooled off for just a bit but are headed back toward the 100 degree mark again. Give me Autumn - warm days and cool evenings.

IMO, it's the longest season there is. But I can appreciate the fact that most people disagree!
