Here at Weatherwatch, we’ve had our fair share of correspondence about the onset of “proper” winter weather over the last couple of weeks.

It seems that despite its reputation as the ugliest of all four seasons, winter has its admirers – those who enjoy hearing the rain and wind howl outside, from the safety of a warm house.

This week, we thought we’d see how our readers are feeling about spring – which is just over 6 weeks away now(!)

So let us know your thoughts on the next season in our poll below, and leave a comment telling us why!
