Since we all live in different regions around the world, it would be nice to get a sense of where everyone is currently living, as well as a brief description of the area you live in.
I live in midwestern U.S., in Minnesota (AKA MN). About 4.9 million people live in MN. We get all four seasons here, with summers being hot and humid, with winters sometimes being very cold and a lot of snow. Oh yeah, don't forget the plethora of mosquitoes in summer too.
I live in Chennai, its in south India. It is very hot all year, we have only one real season which is summer. We do get a few months of rain though. Mosquitoes all the year around too. And yes, I have never seen proper snow >_>
I was tempted to vote for the last option xD

North America, US, Kentucky. We're on the eastern side of the US and in the middle in the North/South axis.
I'm on the western side, so the terrain is slightly hilly and we're famous for our caves (lol road fell in a cave a few years ago >.<) To the east we have the Appalachian mountains, then Virginia, then the Atlantic ocean. To the west we have the Mississippi river then the rest of the US.
We have spring and fall, but they're pretty short. Our winters are relatively mild, but unpredictable so sometimes it gets really cold. We get about one snow per year (not counting dustings or anything that instantly melts) because the air is really dry in the winter and the temperature changes too fast. It's a really wimpy snow regardless >.> It may just be my personal bias, but our summers are miserably hot and humid, and also too long. There's also something weird about the weather our area. I like rain, but I can watch storms split and go around a 20 mile are around us on the radar. All Kentucky weather is weird though.
Q_Q There was no North Europe, so I guess I'm not from Earth or w/e it's called. 4 Seasons, summer, fall, winter, spring and one called Nubs-Go-Die (na not rly :<), winters are stupid, cuz of this 'global warming' thingy there's not much snow anymore q_q. 5m ppl in this country called Finland, and around 50k ppl in this town I live.
I live in Poland, so basically we have got 4 seasons here (autumn, winter, spring, summer), but the weather changes pretty fast and from some geographical/meteorological point of view we have 6 seasons (the ones above +pre-winter and pre-spring). Funny thing, I live in the very north of my country ( near to the Baltic sea) and climate here is rather mild (at least for me). It's about 0 degrees centigrade in winter to +25 (maximum 30) in summer. On the other hand, in the south of my country (Carpathian Mountains and Sudeten +some smaller ranges) winters can be even -25 degrees.
My town is called "Szczecin" (yea, try to pronounce it x]) - about 400k ppl there, most green town in the whole country.

If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now.
If life can be repeated, I'll go to you many times over
There's nothing else that I want,
Nothing else is more important than you.
You could always divide "Northern America" to states XD But yeah, I don't remember which States are in the north, south etc anymore. Hmm, maybe some of them, but I used to know all (had a test from all states in Junior high T^T).

And i have no idea about the weather in this place...but its really weird right now...huge storms in summer... with lotsa flashy lights and noises ...(which dc my net Q_Q)
But supposedly it doesnt get all taht cold even in winter..
I think that Finland is at eastern europe
Juuka, Finland is where I live. 6k people in this stupid village
I agree to what Demon says about seasons. (no snow on winter = /sob)
Alright, since poll questions and results didn't get transferred over from the forum move, I've re-established the poll question and options for this thread.
The poll options were expanded to include more Europe options. I left out Central/North/South Europe options because when I initially created the thread, I was thinking along the old Cold War lines (i.e. Western Europe = European countries west of the former 'Iron Curtain' & Eastern Europe = European countries east of the former 'Iron Curtain'.) :p

That sucks. We still get our 36"-48" in winter, but it doesn't snow until late December (like the 23rd).
Yeah, I want my snow back, I still have photos where I was 5 or so and playing with my dog on the snow :< Now it sucks, snow melts too fast and there's this awful brown mud everywhere...

hmm... holland is western europe right??? not sure . anyway, doesnt matter what season it is. there is always rain. Thats why we dutchies are good with water .
I think the seasons in holland are just like in any other country, but combined with lots of rain. Still I love it here and wouldnt want to trade it in for another country XD.
Im not afraid of water either, I got like lots of swim certificates. So holland is the perfect country for me .
Show me what it's like, to be the last one standing~~
And teach me wrong from right, and I'll show you what I can be~~
And say it for me, say it to me~~
And I'll leave this life behind me~~
Say it if it's worth saving me~~
