What winter? I'm in Poland and there's been some little snow every now and then but then I see blooming outside plants since the middle of January. The grass is green since summer. Flies and fruit flies maybe took a break for a month.

There were maybe two days which called for winter boots. Was supposed to get new ones when needed and so I didn't. Walked the whole winter in loafers or similarly low laced shoes which you don't have to take off at airports.

That ain't the winter I'm used to.
