Russia has four seasons. Four.

Goddamn it, DM, it's June. It's not going to be snowing in Moscow. Stop that.

God, your title had me flashing back to "Japan has four seasons. How many seasons are there where you're from?" question from my time in Japan.

I think I need vodka now.

"Three. Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving."

Tourist Season, Hunting Season, Ski Season.
Three.

[beardedtroll]

I thought they'd combined that into the Ski Tourist Hunting Season?

My god, Gutsman's ass really is everywhere.

You kinda have to have lived in Japan to fully get what I'm talking about. Because the typical reaction if you say for is "Really!? I thought that was just Japan!"

Sadly, a lot of people over there think that Japan really is the only place on earth with four seasons. As you might imagine, foreigners get tired of this question VERY quickly.

Portland has two--rainy season and Tuesday.

Portland, Oregon? I kinda remember it as being rainy season and "OH GOD I'M ON FIRE!". Ugh, August in Portland...

[siraj]

Portland's generally like that... Roseburg and the surrounding area, on the other hand...

[cathowl]

I've lived in several different areas in or around Portland. Summer is always unbearable. But maybe that's just because I hate heat.

Come down here to Sutherlin or Roseburg. It tends to be a little cooler down here in the valley. Not by much, but it helps.

[cathowl]

Actually, I'm living in California now, but I'll keep that in mind, because I do want to move back to Oregon.

[siraj]

There's maybe a 5-7 degree difference in this area. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't do a damn bit of good, but it's worth noting.

August in Portland is preferable to July in northern Indiana, which is where I used to live. Over 110 and no one batted an eye.
