Our winters are mild, but I only have to go 40km up into the mountains to get to a winter ski resort.I'd expected that 'reaction.' People get shocked when I tell them it snows here. Most people think it is hot all year round which is anything but correct-even if HITLER were to say so! I too like Spring, but after having seen and experienced the cold weather of the desert, I'd rather very hot than freezing cold temperature. My GOD... the snowstorms we've had this last Winter: temperature fell to at least -10 degrees C, and we got stuck and 'imprisoned' at home.We were not allowed to move for any reason whatsoever. For emergencies one would have to call the 'Civil Defence Dept.' And there'd be a punishment for anyone who moved, be it by foot or by car-even a four-wheel drive! How do you like that?! I got BORED to DEATH, and this is probably the main reason that made me hate Winter and love Summer when there's no other choice.
People are always surprised aren't they?
But we don't get restricted here.
I love the hot.
