I thought of what winter must have meant to the first settlers of the valley.

Short winters mean the bears end their hibernation early and begin looking for food.

An early winter would mean famine all across the riverlands.

But a mild winter and plenty of rain means that this year the flowers have come into bloom a month early.

There was also no runway, and winter at the Pole means perpetual night.

Simply because she survived last winter does not mean she can survive the next one, the city argued.

Of course, winter and summer do not mean much when talking about squash, since many are available all year.

People in this country don't know what winter really means.

Mild winters with little snow once meant financial disaster for the ski industry.

Fall and winter meant longer nights, more time with Bill, more hours of sleep.
