Naturalist Notes: Winter in the US


This is not a sight you’d ever see in Trinidad. We have only two seasons—dry and rainy, basically six months of each. In the tropics our average temperature ranges between 72-88° Fahrenheit, so its almost difficult to explain what this "cold" really feels like.

I remember back in 1996 when I saw snow for the first time. The air was still, patiently waiting for something to happen, and down came these beautiful, white, feathery, delicate flakes falling from the sky—I was totally mesmerized!

Quietness in the air
Purity in white
Sparkling gems
