18. Cold front
Giggle...that'd be a heat wave in San Francisco. I dream of wearing sleeveless shirts. And yet it never gets quite cold enough for a nice, thick sweater, either.

I miss seasons.

It means everything's dying and that winter's coming.

And winter is like God's idea of a joke, just because he can.

Lookin' forward to spring as we speak.

19. I can deal with that. In fact I like a lot of what you mention.
It's just the outdoors part I have trouble with.

8. I wear t-shirts all year round
In the winter all I usually wear for warmth outside is a hooded sweatshirt. But I'm a big fella so I generate more heat than most people. The only time I wear long sleeves is for a special occasion.

13. Primo convertible weather! We've had it for a week.
Not so hot & humid that I need to leave the roof up and turn on the AC.

Been doing some stylin' these crispy evenings!

23. I'm not, but I'm looking forward to it
It was in the low- to mid-nineties today where I am!

Usually southeast TX doesn't get decent long sleeves weather 'til late October or so, but I always look forward to it. There's something about when the weather first turns cool that always feels really good.

24. Me!
I can get my jean jacket out again finally! (But not yet. It's still a little hot in SE Texas.)

And eventually I can drag my leather duster from the closet and start looking like the long-haired Goth queer vampire I really I am. I'm only really ever me in winter....

26. I can wear long sleeves at night, anyway.
90 degrees F (31C) here yesterday, but down to 64 tonight. Have to wait another several weeks to a month before it's cool enough in daytime. And at least a month before the leather jacket and trenchcoat can come out of the closet.

33. I'm getting it, but I'm living in Texas now
I'm actually feeling a longing for sweaters and snow, but I don't think I'll get too much of that anymore (although when I arrived in Dallas on December 22nd last year it was colder in Dallas than in Pittsburgh; go figure!).

Summer, and hot weather in general, is for simpletons.

40. I love autumn
the Bears, Blackhawks, long pants & sleeves, socks, real shoes, driving the car w/o the AC running.

The downside is the dark. I really HATE that part.
