The seasons of the yaer

Fortunately winters like that are rare in the temperate zone. As the climate gets warmer, we miss a real winter more and more. But no matter what kind of winter it is, finally the frost lets up and the thaw sets in, the snow melts and paths are full of mud. Spring comes earlier to the lowland while in the highlands snow-capped hills and mountains look beautiful till April.

Nature is unpredictable and you can never rely upon the weather, which makes it a frequent topic of a conversation.
