Fair Trade

I will gladly take the cold of winter (and the concomitant colds it's brought upon myself and many of my colleagues and neighbors), in exchange for not being woken up at 6AM by birds doing loud mating calls, thinking it's spring already, as was occurring before the cold snap hit the continent. Further, getting somewhere between a quarter and a half of winter (depending on how long the cold snap last) is a reassuring omen that global warming might take an extra few years before really messing up the world's ecosystem.
