Siberian Seasons

Yesterday I was discussing with a Russian the seasons in Siberia. I said that there are only two seasons in Siberia...winter, and winter's coming.

He stronly refuted my statement and explained once and for all the Siberian seasons

June ...........Spring

July............Summer

August .......Fall

September to May ....Winter

I stand corrected!

And at the other end of the scale, when we lived in Venezuela I thought they only had two seasons hot,and hotter. I was amazingly surprised when I saw the locals donning leather jackets at the arrival of some inperceptible change in temperature, that went unnoticed by the rest of us- expatriates.
By the way from the Tropics to the Arctic, you do get around!
