I think, at that point, it's a freak Spring Blizzard, and does not count as winter.
Yeah, riiight...
I must admit I am curious, but I suspect I'll regret it.
Right there with you.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This year, oddly, we seem to have been basically winter-free (I think March is late enough that I can say that without jinxing it)
Here, too, but this week has been so gray and snowy and yuck that everyone has been super-cranky about it. And/or in general. It's like, now?? We thought we had gotten away with it!
I figure everyplace has its own weather/natural disaster risks, and you just pick the one you can deal with. Which often correlates to what you grew up with, as far as I can tell.

Ha! I'd imagine her Dad doing that, but I guess she inherited his sensibility.

I totally lay in enough wood for the season and stock my pantry,
True, but you're out where the tough, pioneer-spirited people live. I've got a convenience stores a block away and two more two blocks in the other direction (it's great living near a freeway offramp).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I like winter, but we get our weird idealized version of winter here, where there's a lot of snow so you feel like it's winter, but it's so dry it doesn't generally impede driving for long. And I like the rhythm of the sun elongating into the sunroom, and sitting in front of the woodstove.
The house is comfortable all seasons, but I do like a snug winter.

We've been mostly without winter here too, except for a couple of brief snows and maybe two weeks where it consistently stayed below freezing. The rest of the time it's been wonderful sunshine-y 50s, 60s, and 70s—the kind of spring/fall weather that I've lamented us never getting.
I worry that the price is going to be 6 months of bug-filled triple digit temperatures this summer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For me, preparing for winter means switching the blankets on my bed, putting my bike away, and closing the insulated curtains on my windows.

Also switching out which clothes are on shelves and which are in boxes. But preparing for summer means doing all the same things in reverse.
