Oct. 9/08 – Here’s an idea to get you thinking from Bill Peters:

I am certain many people say this, but what I love about Winnipeg is the change of seasons, which are all distinct and beautiful in their own way:

• Spring: Winnipeg always comes to life after the first rain.  Renews the spirit . . .
• Summer: Warm and dry, with summer storms.  Ahhh . . . the smell of fresh cut grass . . .
• Fall: Beautiful colors, crisp air, anticipation of hockey season!
• Winter: You have to admire people who live here. My best childhood memories are all in Winter. It’s Ultimate Survival to live through the -40C days, and we celebrated by creating this video of a cup of steaming coffee crystallizing on a particularly cold day.
