As the warmer weather very slowly arrives (at least in Ontario!) and the day's get longer, I was wondering how many folks are less active in their model railroad hobby this time of year. I suspect that quite a few of us do far less with our layouts from April to September, while we're quite busy with them during the winter.
So I thought I'd toss this question out here with a poll as well. Sometimes people expect that I'm not into model railroading as much during the summer, yet I still try to keep the momentum going, especially when it's "500 degrees" outside and too hot & humid to venture out!
There are so many aspects to railroading that it certainly can be a year-round hobby. For example, while I actually do have less time for my model RR hobby in the summer, I'm often out visiting real-life heritage trains as well as rail-fanning and taking train photos.
Some people will have less time for their hobby during the summer while others may actually have MORE time, because summer can also be a quieter, slower time.
So, how do the warmer, summer months affect your model railroading?
Thanks -- I'm just curious about these things!

Here are my poll questions:
I practically abandon my layout until the cold weather returns
I still tinker with it, although much less than the winter months
I'm involved with model RR about the same as in the winter
I'm actually more active with my model RR hobby in the summer
