We are still in middle of winter, but so far, have only had 1 day that really reminded me of winter - cold, wind and rain together (actually, I think that only lasted 2 hours). A couple of days that I had to remove ice from car windows before leaving for work, but otherwise, winter has been not too bad. A bit of a worry about our next summer though, as the weather man has just predicted an 'early, warmer than usual spring' - I guess that means we will be in for a long, hot summer.
