Winter? Not so much.

It's really more like cool autumn weather, at worst, and some days are still in the mid-teens. Having spent every winter of my life in Alberta, it looks like this will be my first year of winterlessness.

Everything is still lush and green, burgeoning with life and health. Kinda like Vancouver in the summer, or Alberta roughly never. Maybe 30% of the trees and bushes are leafless, but the grass is still greener than the lawns in my experience have ever been.

Ireland is green -- that is not a myth.
