Also, I live in the north, so my options are:

• winter - frigid weather where the roads are an ice rink
• spring - fluctuates between cold (random snow storm) and hot, like a woman going through menopause (i.e. one day nearly 100F, the next day there's snow)
• summer - pretty consistently hot
• fall - random storms, school starting (I have kids), and an intro to the aforementioned ice-rink

So yeah, summer is pretty decent, given the other options.
