Summer is okay from the hours of 6-9 AM and after 7 PM. The 10 hours in between are too hot!!!

On a DC trip in late June the heat was unbearable.

Early spring is good. Late spring is too much like summer.

Autumn is good but spring is better.

Winter is usually a bit too cold.

I have to ask, what makes you put August so much lower than July? They seem pretty similar to me.

[7/8]

The worst month is the current one. It's cold, no holidays to look forward to (I don't have a girlfriend so Valentines Day is just depressing) and nothing really going on. The only positive about this month is the Super Bowl

I mean, if you really want a holiday to celebrate, there's always my birthday on February 2. I give you permission to throw yourself a party for it. If anyone gives you weird looks, lie and say it's for Groundhog Day.

Or you could celebrate today, a presidential birthday–this year, February 9 is the 250th birthday of William Henry Harrison. (February 6 is Ronald Reagan's.)

What about President's Day on the 20th? From what I see on Wikipedia, Delaware is the only state not to observe it.

You mean Washington's Birthday. I had mentioned that in reply #9. I was assuming that Roadgeekteen doesn't get Washington's Birthday as a holiday based on the way he worded his comment ("no holidays to look forward to").

Massachusetts has that day as an official holiday (Presidents Day). I think other states in the northeast do as well.

Washington's Birthday is known as Presidents' Day in many states, mostly because Abraham Lincoln's birthday falls on the calendar in a similar timespan and states realized it was easier just to combine the two into one holiday.

[hotdogPi]

Presidents' Day is simply a day off of work/school and nothing more.

[NWI_Irish96]

In Illinois, Lincoln's Birthday and Washington's Birthday are separate holidays.

I'm ranking the seasons, because ranking twelve months is too much.

(1) Spring
(2) Summer
(3) Fall/Autumn
(4) Winter

The federal holiday is called Washington's Birthday, regardless of what the media and advertisers want to pretend.

Sorry I did miss that post.

When I was younger, I would have easily said that March was the worst month, and I still think so in terms of weather because you think the worst is over when you get past February, and it almost never is.

Yes this is why it rates so low for me. I grew up thinking of Spring as March, April, and May, but now I realize March is much more a winter month here. In Kitchener, March has more days with snowfall than rain and the average high is only 3.6C/38.5F.

I know that Washington's birthday is a holiday, I was talking about holidays people actually celebrate.

I stopped getting that day off in college. I would never have even remembered it was coming up if a classmate hadn't asked if we had class that day.

UMass gets President's day off.

I get the day off work, so that's good enough for me to consider it a holiday. This year we're having work done on the house that day. In the past I sometimes scheduled my dental appointment for that day because there's less traffic getting there. (No longer because my long-time dentist retired and the new dentist's office is close enough to walk if the weather permits.)

Not all of us get President's Day off of work.  On the positive side, we do get a floating holiday instead that we can take when it would actually be useful for us (many people use the floating holidays between Christmas and New Year's).  Same with Good Friday for us.  Now a floating holiday.  Down side is no scheduled holidays between New Year's Day and Memorial Day.

By and large, the higher education industry does not get President's Day off.

In Massachusetts, Patriots Day is usually celebrated the third Monday of April which is when the Boston Marathon is held. Many places are closed that day.

Casmir Pulaski's birthday is a legal holiday in Ilinois, observed on the first Monday in March.

I feel like I've done more for the world than William Henry Harrison.

May have had a short presidency, but he actually lived a pretty long pre presidential life. He served as a senator from Ohio prior to becoming President.

I work at a Federal agency, and even there only official communications call it Washington's Birthday. Every informal reference to the holiday is Presidents' Day.
