Summer, Winter ... Repeat

Do I just have glorified childhood memories, or did there used to be these seasons called "Spring" and "Fall"? It seems for the last several years it's been snowing one day and in the 70's the next. Now don't get me wrong, I much prefer the latter, but a little adjustment period would be nice. I'm sweating like a (insert offensive metaphor here) on Thanksgiving. If you can think of something good to fill in the blank let me know, and I'll come up with a prize for you.
