I don't mind summer or winter since moving away from a place where the winters were horrible and the summers were pure hell. Hazy, hot and humid were the three "H's" of summer.
A few summers ago I went back and spent less than 24 hours of a scheduled three day trip. So, I guess I'm still in "grateful mode" where the weather is concerned. A temperate climate has helped my "seasonal dread" considerably; however, there is that gnawing guilt that I live in paradise (compared to my former environment) and I can still feel glum. The nicer the weather gets the louder my "What the **** is the matter with you? Snap out of it" mantra becomes.
Regarding shorts . . . I never feel like it gets hot enough here to humiliate myself, but I've entertained the notion this spring by buying a new pair of shorts that don't look as "Scout Leader-ish." Most days I help the tourist industry by wearing cropped pants.
