Applied to this side of the country -- which we call the front side (the
capital vs. second-largest-city thing y'know :) -- it would be the Green
Winter and the Grey Winter :( But FYI we had a heat record of 36 degrees C
this summer. That's a difference of about 54 degrees between the hottest
day of the year and the coolest. I don't think you can match that in the
tropics! :)
