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.

Summer will get as hot as 105 degrees F and Winter will get as cold as -10 degrees F.

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.

Hmm, no "Central Europe" option, FAIL 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.

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).
