Photo: They Call It "Winter"

It will take me some time, I think, to adjust to the nature of winters in the Lower Mainland - winters where snow is an infrequent visitor, and sometimes leaves so quickly you're barely aware it was even there. Part of me was always braced for it to really start, even though I knew better - because I'd become used to Ontario winters.

Ontario winters tend to resemble this photograph, at least at times. It was taken during a blizzard in Peterborough, Ontario in February 2005.
