She'd give me delicious Michigan peaches when we visited her. Now that the climate has changed, there's little or no snow there during the winters. I like all four seasons. I ski and do other stuff in the winter, but I agree, fall is the best. Summer may be my least favorite for the reasons you mentioned: the humidity, and, worst, the bugs. I can understand not liking winter, but I love the snow and we have fewer and fewer below-zero days. No question, San Diego is great. Not nearly as humid as some other popular cities.
