“So how’re things in the great white north? You get snow yet?” “It’s barely September, moron. We have summer and fall here.” I switched between weapons, searching for a drop to claim. “I mean, they only last a few months before the snow, but still. Canada has four seasons too.” “Yeah.

Matheus could sense his perplexity. “Have you felt the days getting colder?” he began with a foreboding tone of voice. “For many generations, the elders of our culture predicted the pattern of a great and devastating winter storm. Occurring in a precise twelve-year cycle, these mountains endure freezing winds powerful enough to uproot trees with ease, and temperatures so cold that even the flesh of the strongest man would crumble at the force of its bite.

"Are ye sure? The rain is goin' sideways." "Positive." "How can ye tell?" I open my mouth to speak, but realize I don't actually know. I haven't been here long enough to experience one. "I think I'm gonna defer to Tiffany because I'm not sure." "You mean besides by watching the local news?" Da nods at her question, and I can tell he's nervous. Blizzards, high winds, sub-zero temperatures are no big deal. But this has him spooked. Hurricane season is going to be fun with him around.
