Bad Month for Flying

Guess our winter starts earlier than yours, the Met. Office here defines
winter as December 1st to the end of Feb. So winter's already been going
a while here. Still hasn't got below freezing yet, and is about 10
celcius today (upper 40s F, I guess)... and we're further north than the
entire continental US :-)

Yep, meteorological winter (really, the only one that counts) starts
on December 1st. But just TRY to get everyone to agree to change the
date on the calendar! (Look how hard it was to get any movement at
all on "Daylight Savings Time"...)

Although it hasn't been above freezing there, I'll bet the dampness of
living on an island is impressive. Having grown up on the shores of
Lake Michigan, I do *not* miss that weather. (I swear, 40 degrees
there felt as cold as 20 degrees in bone-dry Iowa...)
