I am in the Pacific NW, which is a temperate Zone 8b. I recognize and enjoy four definite seasons, although I suppose fall and winter might be considered similar to some - wet and gloomy. We usually get a bit of snow, though, and the temps are definitely colder in winter than in fall. I've always lived in the PNW, so perhaps my read on seasons is different than someone used to being snowed in for long periods of time. I don't think I would care for that, and definitely know I would not thrive in overly hot summers.
