You can get hot sun, rain ,cold and snow in the same day most days have a cool and warm part other than mid seasons we have summer-fall-winter-spring but last few years seem like summer-winter-winter-winter, lol from were i am if i drive 50km north and south 4 jet streams are clearly visible as rain stops always on the same line on one of em and the other have different weather on either side year round
