Well, if it helps, I WAS born in Washington, so maybe the craving for cold is in my blood
Washington isn't really close to what we experience, that is more like British Columbia weather. You are just missing actually having seasons.
Micah, we seem to be getting winter for 3 months(Dec - Feb) now and not as much snow as you seem to be remembering, followed by spring for 4 months, followed by summer for 2 months and then Fall which goes through much of the same weather patterns as Spring, which ranges through all the season typical weather from hot summer to cold winter.
