Yes, we have four distinct seasons (most years). That's one of the selling points of New England for folks who like that sort of thing. We have Halloween season in parts of NH as well (especially Chester).

I do like having the four seasons. I was born here, but I moved as a kid out west and not having four seasons doesn't really feel comfortable to me. It also is good if you are a writer I think. Seasons are something that impact you internally as well as externally. Wouldn't mind shoveling a little less snow but that is the trade off

Yes. I lived in Seattle for a few years as well, and the mild winters were pretty lovely, but I really prefer four actual seasons. Spring and Autumn, especially.

It makes me very happy to know that there really is such a thing as "Halloween season" somewhere out there.

Autumn for me is the best writing season

I lived in Boston for almost 26 years, aside from a stint in North Carolina, before moving out west a few years ago. I've found the San Francisco weather/seasons to be really congenial -- to me, it's always 5 October here in that the weather here could always happen on 5 October in Boston, and, for me, that's just about perfect -- but I miss the shoulders of the seasons deeply. Late August, early November, and late March in New England are special times.

Edit to add: I suppose early November isn't a shoulder; it's just autumn. But I miss it.

It is somewhat artificially engineered, but the city of Salem hosts a month long celebration that culminates on the 31st. But I think once fall starts, for a lot of people here, it is Halloween season

Too many earthquakes there for me lol

In Mass the winters (EDIT: Typo, should be Summer) are insanely humid (at least to me they feel humid). I spent time in California as a kid and never minded the heat there, but coming back here in the summer, the heat and humidity combo was unbearable. Couldn't even sleep. Other than that the seasons seem standard Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. I live by Salem so we have Halloween season as well

My first trip to Seattle was in April of 2016, when they were having record daily high temps of 90F. After summers in Toronto it felt more to me like maybe 75F. he locals were melting and complaining, while I was wearing long pants and long sleeved shirts, in perfect comfort.

I've been here since July 2021, and I've still not experienced a noticeable earthquake. I guess there was a 3.5 off the coast near the Zoo that was very noticeable in my neighborhood (according to the SF Chronicle), but neither the dog nor I noticed a thing.

I just remember the ones they would get up there when I was in southern California. Technically we get earthquakes in Boston too (usually very small ones). And there was a big one here in 1755 (was told in my geology class we are due for another at some point but I don't know how true that is). Where I live, it is mostly granite drumlins which are pretty ideal for an earthquake I have been told (Boston is a lot of reclaimed wetlands so they could have the kinds of problems you see in San Fransisco in a large one like liquefaction). I avoid going into the city though
