Really? The weather isn't even a comparison so why argue? I lived ten years in Atlanta and it was the blandest weather I've ever encountered. A warm Autumn, a warm Spring, a hot Summer and a cool winter. That represents the four seasons? A few places in the Mountains don't make up for 97% of the rest of the region.
Without even looking I would be willing to be that Atlanta doesn't have one month during the entire winter that averages below freezing. Heck, I bet Richmond barely touches below freezing and Virginia is about as far North as the South goes without counting West Virginia (which is a border state IMO). That is not cold and that's coming from someone that lives in one of the warmest Midwestern cities.
my bad.How silly of me to think that having Four seasons means having a month of below freezing temperatures.
Does that mean Minneapolis and Detroit have at least a month of 95 degree temperatures?Does that really make sense?

When you average high 30's and low 40's during the winter, that isn't really cold. Since it isn't very cold, it does not represent Winter very well which is one of the four seasons last time I checked. A lot of people associate snow with Winter as well.
I was more poking fun at the fact that you think Atlanta gets really cold. Run off now and find me Atlanta's lowest temperature ever recorded so you can argue some more because I'm sure that is what you were going to do.

I don't argue.Don't need to when I know i'm right. I inform.You are now informed about the weather in the South.
Arguing what is winter with you is silly.COLD is COLD when its lower than freezing.That may not be the average,but it does happen in Atlanta on more than rare occasions.
If we were talking about Florida,that would be different.Not to mention it does snow a lot in West Virginia,Virginia and less but somewhat often in Tennessee and Kentucky.
-8 degrees.That is the lowest temperature recorded in Atlanta.
Last year the lowest was 19 degrees.

This is silly. Very very silly.
Are the summers up north not real summers because when we think of summer down here we think of 100% humidity and 90+ degrees for months on end?

You were saying?
Informed me about weather in the South? I lived there ten years and the seasons are poorly represented, sorry. I've lived in places with truly seasonal weather and the South isn't it. Snow in four states does not portray an entire region.

They may not be to you the same way Southern winters are not very wintry to me.
This is a region vs. region discussion and weather is important to a lot of people therefore it is valid. The argument was who represents the four seasons better, the South or Midwest. I've lived in both and say the Midwest.
The weather is a more valid discussion and affects more people than the origins of Jazz and Blues but, that didn't stop people from talking about it for flippin 6 pages.
After spending time in the South, one of the biggest things I miss is the farm scenery that I'm used to up north. Big red barns, white farmhouses, corn, wheat, soybeans, flat to rolling terrain with some openness to it. I'm sure this makes me abnormal, but oh well. I realize there is farming in the South but it doesn't look quite the same. I do enjoy the dense forests of the South, though, for a change of scenery (though I can also get forest scenery in the northern part of my state). I just find myself missing the Midwestern farm country after a week or so.
I'm sure a lot of urban dwellers from the Midwest don't have the same emotional attachment that I do. In fact, I'm positive that the majority does not view it the way I do.
