It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
-- The Buddha
January is darned cold. The night of the 13th it got down into the high 30's. Try that in an unheated unheatable house. The first week of February it begins to warm up. In a one week period many of the trees shed most of their leaves. There is very little turning 'fall' colors. Just FLUMP and all the leaves are on the ground. By the third week of Feb all the leaves are gone. It also has heated up to the 70's at night and mid 80's during the day. The really tropical trees like the bombacacea have shed their leaves in December and are in full flower
March is the beginning of summer. By mid march the trees are in full flower.
April is midsummer. Getting very hot and dry. Everything is brown. It gets up to 100 during the day and 80 at night.

June is an extension of summer. The rains are less and it gets up to 110 during the day and near 90 at night.
