Winter 

Sandwiched between her sons in college this winter: Connor in Washington, DC.,Ian in Rochester, NY. ; they're fulfilling our Heather's dream following in her footsteps. 

Why does a chill run up my backbone when I look out my front window and see my neighbor's roof whiting up even as I pull up the comforter.

Winter has little empathy for summer lovers, they'll be bitching about how hot and dry August is. Weather's like baseball, bats for an average.
