Aw C'mon JT! Winter doesn't start until mid-July!!!
I hoped it would be something that chopped them up. Hate 'em.
Beginning. 3rd of July is last late frost, 5th is first early if you're a gardener.
Reminds of living in North Dakota, we had three seasons. July, August and winter.
C'mon, I did two years at Minot. Half of June weren't bad.
In Minnesota the four seasons are almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. Old Joke Alert! jo4hn
'Cept in my old (Minnesota) neighborhood where we had 'winter' and 'the 4th of July'. Some of my neighbors recalled when it actually snowed on the 4th of July parade - and caused a few people to laugh right loud in front of God and everybody...

I remember it snowing on out 4th parade. Might have been the same year.
Just in case anyone isn't familiar with the "road construction" season, that's when it hits 95* or hotter every day with 100% relative humidity for 6-8 weeks, then the week after it drops to 30*, and snows.
Or maybe that's just Wisconsin- I don't accurately recall the weather across the border any more.
In Houston you have only two seasons. Christmas and SUMMER.
Hell, I live just North of Houston and thought Christmas was part of SUMMER.
As I tell my mother who still lives in Northern Ohio.
"You have a short summer, July 4th and 5th. Enjoy it".
