I think that none of you have ever known a real winter :P By winter I don't mean "ho the rain is cold!" or "the wind makes me need a little jacket" Ho no! that's not a winter that's a cold summer night here A winter, here, it's less that -20°C during 2 weeks 4 or 5 times, less than -15°C during 5 weeks in lines 2 times and less than -10°C during 3 or 4 months and less than 5°C during 5 months A rainy winter.. It doesnt exist here, if it rains someday it only means that that water will freeze in the night. Much precipitations are of snow. When there is a lot a snowing it is difficult to walk because it gets higher than you knees. If there isn't so much snow it is just enough to hide the ice and to let you slip, you or your car. Enjoy your high winter's temperatures it is nothing very impressive :) or <:)| (with a hat and a foulard)
