The running joke around here is that we have four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Winter's Almost Over, and Road Construction.

The other joke is that you can tell when summer's here because the rain gets warmer. I'm in a microclimate out on the end of a peninsula and it seems to always be foggy and rainy here. Five miles in any direction and it often lets up.

Also, living in a place like this, you get to the point where you realize that you're going to be wet no matter what you do. You can let it stop you, or you can roll with it. It's amazing how fast you acclimate; it's 45 and raining right now and I just got back from a 4-mile run in a T-shirt and shorts. I saw another runner out there doing the same thing, going the other way, both of us soaked to the skin. I won't wear a running jacket or a hat anymore unless it's in the 30's or it's really a goose-drowner. A hot shower, a cup of coffee, and it's like it never happened.

Sounds like Manitoba, except what you call "Winter's Almost Over" we call "Still Winter". And then there's "that one day in March where it's really warm and everyone gets irrationally optimistic." XD

45 is definitely shorts weather! Also, my in-laws live on the Olympic Peninsula. We love visiting them there. The climate is so nice and temperate but not hot (hate hot). It's refreshing.

Substitute "summer" in for "winter" & that's our life here in the sonoran desert. We're in road construction season right now. By the end of February we'll hit almost summer, tho last Feb we had a day that was over 100F.
 
Well, I might as well admit it...I've only read the Silmarillion and the Hobbit all the way through [my mum read Fellowship to me, and I've only read the ending and the appendices of Return of the King]. I have, however, watched the movies far too many times to count. :D

I first read the Hobbit in elementary school and LOTR in middle school. The Silmarillion was a bit later, but only because I didn't know it even existed. I was always fascinated and enchanted with fantasy as a kid, so I read tons of other stuff as well.
