It has turned cold again after a short period of melting weather. The road and the fields have returned to the dry and hard state. Only at noon does the sunlit ice and snow thaw a little. The locals are still dressed in winter wear. A warm spell and a cold spell have been taking control of our locality in turn. Winter will not recede until the end of April. It has been spring according to the calendar. But the spring scenes and signs can hardly be seen except the occasional mud and water caused by the melting snow and ice. About half a year is under the reign of winter, which is the longest season. And spring is the shortest one, which is about a fortnight. It seems to me that summer almost comes after winter because I will put on summer wear just a few days after taking off winter wear .
