This region does indeed have four distinct seasons.

I can deal with Spring and Autumn. Temperatures and precipitation are tolerable.

Summer is challenging. We’ve had a few weeks of temperatures hovering around 110F.

But Winter — it angers me.

We’ve endured -10F, which about what we’d endured in Soap Lake a few years ago. Fortunately, we’re not living in a 5th Wheel RV as we were then. It had its drawbacks. But it also had its benefits, like the ability to head to warmer climes.

But, presently, I’m disliking this whole “winter” thing.

No, that’s not quite right.

I don’t mind Winter, but I suppose I dislike most isn’t the cold or the precipitation — I’m disliking the current condition (existence? non-existence?) of the shelter, equipment, and gear to cope with it.
