I thought that it was 9 months of winter and 3 of poor sledding :-)

In the UK, it seems to be 6 months of winter, and 6 months of a jumble
of spring, summer and autumn.

I would say we have Spring and Autumn with just one day each of winter
and summer!

From memories (I left the UK in 1971) and from when I visit, there are only
two seasons: cold miserable and warm miserable{;-)

Not at all. It's rarely miserable - today has been though. Grey, very cold
yet still damp. And the rain found z chink in the roof during the night -
Spouse crawled round the loft in his nightshirt with a bucket and head torch
while I slept through everything :-)
