Winter? I don't know. I've known girls called April, May, June and Summer. Don't know a winter.

Here in Southern Scotland winter can be so variable. A cold, clear day is amazing, and then the stars come out, but those are all too rare. We get weeks on end of rain and slush, which is just unpleasent.

The thing that really stands out about winter is the light though. We're on the same lattitude as Southern Alaska. In midwinter, the sun is above the horizon for 6.5(ish) hours, and it feel like this for 3 months. Which is plain depressing.
