About the use of _verano_ (summer) and _invierno_ (winter) in Colombia (my
previuos post in this thread), a friend of my father some day said that
Sweden (speaken about Stockholm) had two seasons: the White Winter and the
Green Winter, because it was allways falling (rain or snow) but the
landscape was white or Green. :-D
