People always contrast summer and winter

But people rarely use bitching about summer to gush about spring or autumn.

    They don't seem to say "I prefer it to summer" much though

    People ritually forget every year that large portions of Spring are a milder rainier Winter

    You really need to have more in-person conversations with people who aren't your mother. I feel like it would remedy these sorts of baffling notions very quickly.

    ^ Also true.

    Spring here is honestly great. It's not all that rainy in these parts, and when it does rain, we get thunderstorms! Also, all the wheat-covered hills turn a lovely green, and it's just breezy enough to feel refreshing. The temperature is milder, compared to the 90-100 degrees full summer gets. 

    I love Spring.

    if you grow up in a rain shadow you learn to love rain and cherish it

    Nobody said there was anything wrong with rain!

    erio didn't, but what I got from Myr is that he doesn't like it.

    I did grow up in a very rainy area. The Willamette Valley down in Oregon. 

    I never cared for the rain. It's not my jam at all.

    AU, I know how this is going to sound, but have you ever considered how bizarrely thin-skinned it comes across to automatically respond to every implied statement of an opinion that you disagree with like you've been personally insulted?

    sometimes the dryness here is oppressive to me

    I thought my response was fairly measured, and I know I have a bad habit of overreacting and kept that in mind when making that response

    Yeah, but there's that subtext in responding like you *needed* to respond, as if it were somehow deeply hurtful that someone would imply that they didn't like rain and therefore you must subtly force them to check their rain privilege.

    I didn't, simply because it lacked the vitriol, the bite, that is usually explicit in the sort of comments you're talking about. That and just going off of what or who he knows.

    Anyway I like spring. It exists and is nice.

    I guess I let it intertwine with other feelings that may not be relevant to the topic at hand

    Spring here doesn't exist. We just have extended winters that can be milder than usual. On that note, autumn is just extended summer.

    Der Winter, kalt und wild!

    Of course, there is the fact that here, we are lucky if we a few days of sunshine in summer. Mostly it's wet and grey.

    And then in the winter, it's always bright and sunny, meaning you look like a twat dressed warmly with sunglasses on.

    In Ohio, we get very little in the way of spring weather. March might as well be a winter month, then we get a couple weeks of springlike weather in April, but by May it's already summer heat.

    Mercifully, our autumn weather usually lasts longer. Starting in late September and stretching through early December or so.

    And then there's that weird moment when June plunges into winter weather, again.
