It looks like Summer and Autumn are now the two main starter seasons for people. From what I've read in the comments, it seems that a lot of the people who play realistically will be starting in the summer, to mirror the start of the season they experience in real life. And many players who feel that they have already been stuck in "eternal summer" in the game and want a nice change of scenery will be choosing Autumn.
I chose Autumn myself, but I keep going back to the idea of Spring because I really REALLY want to see those thunderstorms.
