Game: You know it's (season) in (location) when...

[daffodil101]

So at the moment, everyone (possibly with the exception of the equator and the poles) is in the middle of either Summer or Winter right now.  What's it like?  Is your winter cold enough to freeze Smaug?  Is your summer a permanent heat wave?  Wherever you are in the world, whatever crazy adjustments you're making in your life to adjust to the weather, we want to hear about it! 

Fill in the blanks of the phrase, then feel free to elaborate/tell us more about it!

I'll start. 
You know it's summer in Queensland when everyone has 100% cold showers!

Usually 'take a cold shower' has another meaning.  But not during a Brisbane summer!  Makes a decent substitute for going to the beach-- just let it run for a while because the first 30 seconds of water will be hot from the pipes

You know spring is early, when all clothes you hang up to dry remain wet and the floors to your apartment are slippery from humidity.

You know it's Summer in Logan when you think a 36 degree day is pleasantly cool.

I recently moved to Logan from Brisbane, I'd never seen a 40 degree day before but now I see more than a few in a week! I've forgotten what the perfect 24 feels like lol.

You know it's winter in northern Sweden when your nose start to bleed as soon as you step in from the cold. (Not really true today.. January and we have + degrees instead of minus 30something celcius as it should )

You know it's winter in London when everyone goes crazy about five snowflakes on the ground.

True story! We had a tiny little bit of snow last week, and because it happens so rarely, people spoke of nothing else all day. There were picture threads on social media and everything.

You know it's winter in Edmonton when folks can't see the lines, and therefore, lack the ability to park properly and car crashes a plenty!

This is my first year in Colorado (moved down from Montana), and the winters here can't make up their minds. Some days it's 70F/20C and sunny, and the very next day, or even later the same day it'll be three feet of snow and -3F/-19C.

You know it's winter here when it didn't get cold until the end of December, just in time for it to warm up in February

People who've lived here a long time though say that this year has been weirder than usual so we'll see what next year is like

This winter is a bit odd...lately its been a touch warmer then usual but I hear we are supposed to go bak into the deep freeze in a few weeks.

You know its winter here when the freezing rain makes for a skating rink though.  And you get a bit ._. because the sun isn't out

You know it's winter in south texas when it stays cold for more than an hour!

[Lore-Lei]

You know it's winter in Hungary when the weather forecast says it'll be colder tonight here than in Moscow.

You know it's winter in Ohio when you hear the words "lake effect".

It's been strangely warm this winter, I don't like it.

You know it's winter in Oklahoma when one day it's in the 80s and the next there's an ice storm.

Thankfully we haven't seen any 80s this winter. We did see 80s in November, though, much to my dismay. In general, a winter in Oklahoma is outside weather. 50s/60s/70s are common for afternoon highs. There are some cold spells, but they're gone in a few days and it's back up in the 60s.

I don't like it. Nice weather is supposed to happen during the Spring, not the winter. By Spring it'll be hot and humid. The fact that it's almost February (the month where all chances of actual winter weather disappears fast) makes me want to cry. I need four seasons, and Oklahoma has essentially turned into Summer (Spring for normal locations) - More Summer (Summer) - And more Summer (Autumn) - Random, but usually nice Season (Winter).

You know it's absolutely any season in west Norway when it's 5-10 degrees and raining

You know it's winter in Wisconsin when you can have rain (regular or freezing), snow, sun and range from -35F to 42F all within 2 days.
We also have that 5th season-road construction...

We've been dealing with freezing rain off and on for about 2 weeks now. Supposed to get more tonight!

You know its winter in Alabama when its 72 degrees fahrenheit... oh wait... we don't have winter here.
