@SBM: All good points, but allow me to counter. Up until this year the worst traffic i’ve sat in to date was in the summer time because there are 3x’s as many people on the road traveling if not more over the summer. Working and commuting in or around the nations capitol is a nightmare when the weather is nice because of the influx of tourists, this you know to be true.

The cold isn’t “dreary” as much as it is refreshing. You know you’re alive when you step outside in the winter and the wind hits you in your face. Spring & Fall come in a close second, summer is a distant third only out of “forth” because of the vast amount of pro’s that carry weight up against the dreadful con’s.

Girls being bundled up I agree is a damper to our gender’s observation/appreciation for the female physique but at the same time seeing a woman in some fitted jeans and a fitted cashmere v-neck makes for a good substitute imho, but ultimately I get what you are saying and your point is taken.

Don’t have a bike, but yes those cold roads and low temps aren’t the best for ridding. Only now is the cost of heating more then the cost of running the A/C in those nasty DC heat waves, so we’ll see what happens in winter’08 vs. summer’08 so far as AC & heating costs go.

Plus, no motorcycle riding in winter, and since I never leave the office by 5pm … winter Daylight Savings time garuntees I will be leaving home at night.

Also, since gas is higher than electricity now, the cost of heating is worst than AC.

Your crazy man. Winter is the absolute worst season. The best holidays are in winter, I will admit, but the worst traffic is in winter, girls are all bundled up, no one wants to go out on the weekends because its cold, and 4 hour commutes because of snow.

Spring & Summer easily trump winter and its cold drearyness.

@D: I hate you. We didn’t get the fulfillment of the ‘Pros’ first, had we done that and not gotten but a few of the Cons (which some of which we still got more then half of anyway) then i’d agree with you. Being that not the case, no. It was one of the worst winter-seasons to date you spring fanboy you.

you say robbed of winter, yet what we missed out was most of your cons. so by your list, this should have been one of the best seasons we had

@Brittany: i’m hurtin’ from the daylight savings thing as well, especially today seeing how I couldn’t get to sleep for anything last night. All more reason why Winter is the season, give me my hour back dammit!

@sb: both really, neither isn’t really kosher unless you look good enough to take off those “standard” layers of clothing. also so far as what women are wearing nowdays i don’t want to see up a womans skirt when she’s walking by, leave something to my imagination, tuck those breastesis’ back in and show me the glowing crest, not the whole circumference

And you had to mention that daylight savings thing. I’m having issues with that right now.

I like how ‘less clothing’ is listed twice in the summer cons. What’s the matter B–don’t like seeing half nekkid chicks? Or is it the half nekkid chicos that bother you?
