Only the slightest spots of frost around here although it feels cold. I

surprised, I thought you had milder weather like us in the south west



Where the sun has not shone today there is still frost on the ground
this evening. Brrrr!

With all this climate change and us only living here for just over two
years it is difficult to be definitive about the difference in weather
compared to the UK, but my feeling is that the seasons are a bit more
well defined here; colder Winters and warmer Summers.

The seasons here, in western Canada, are extremely well marked. Wags will
say we have 3 months of summer and 9 of winter but Spring and Fall are well
delineated. Because of this, time seems to pass that much more quickly.
However, I wonder if this sense is also a function of one's age{;-(

No snow in the forecast and a very balmy 3ºC today.
