Although some winters have already started by the time December roles around, every so often a December arrives without its usual cold and snow. As each day passes, a rather noticeable
anticipation builds. December’s reputation for snow and cold is well earned, and even though temperatures might tease us with unseasonable warmth, the potential for a sudden plunge to zero
degrees and a foot of snow keeps us on the edge. Quite often the ground becomes hard as frost begins to set in, matching the grey, stern, cloud-covered skies. Finally, relief comes as the hiss of
the first flakes whitens the landscape, and the veils of white swallow the last of autumn’s browns and greys. The snow is sometimes as welcomed as an old, familiar friend.
