Winter?

Winter. Can't say that I have really experienced winter this season. There have been a few days since late fall where snow has fallen in southern Alberta. However, there have also been many days when temperatures were warm enough for shorts and T-shirts!
But the winter winds blow from the north and the west, and people are reminded every so often that it is indeed winter.
In the midst of all this, I managed a week in paradise - Hawaii. What contrast. The gentle ocean breeze and warm 78F-plus temperatures certainly are enticing.
Now it is the end of February. I look forward to spring, though I cannot complain about the past three or four months.
