Ah, we live with it, Tina, & can have snowfalls as late as May (even June!), although usually that catches people out in their T-shirts, on their bikes. But here in Alberta we tend to think of winter as about 6 months long, & certainly the heavy snow on the ground will be there for some time, & this morning it is minus 20 (-30 windchill). But we'll be feeling frisky in the warmth of -10 by this afternoon.... I'm just a whiner....
