In Alaska we have four seasons. There is "Early Winter", "Mid Winter", "Late Winter", and "Next Winter"!
What people down south call "Summer" is just the transition between Late Winter and Next Winter. If it falls on a weekend we usually have friends over and grill something and eat out on the back deck.
