There are too seasons in Southern Arizona! They are as follows: Hot (spring), SUPER hot (summer), Hot (autumn), and tolerably warm (winter).
I know just what you mean, though. The difference in hours of daylight between summer and winter is only a couple of hours, which makes a huge difference to people's moods. My mom moved to AZ from WI precisely to escape winter, and we were just talking last night about how much winter stinks because it goes on forever and is so bleak and dreary. All the other seasons are sort of "interactive," as in there are things growing or budding or turning colors or just looking beautiful and you can go out and enjoy it; winter is a time of death ticking over, and I personally don't see what there is to "enjoy" in snow. It looks pretty for a couple of hours and then it turns either mushy or hard. Can you tell I was born and raised in a desert? Give me sunshine and warmth!
