Shooting in full sun at midday is great if it's bone chilling cold, and you've got a polarizing filter to get those deep, deeeeeeep sky blues, assuming your fingers still work. Otherwise, keep the polarizer, enjoy the warmer weather, and focus on landscapes and things where the harsh shadows don't matter as much. Of course, the best days for mid-day shooting are when it's overcast, and the entire sky is a softbox. The two golden hours per day are your best bet for nice colors when the sky is clear.
