A sad farewell to winter

Living in the far south of the US gives one a special appreciation for winter, mainly because we don't have to deal with it. For myself (and the few people in this town who share my feelings on the subject), cold days are a rare treat, occasions for playing hookie (in one form or another), staying outside all day, getting to wear a sweater, and eating chili.

After you've lived here for a long time you get to where you can tell when winter has officially left the scene, not to return until next November (if we're lucky). There is always a particular day when the air changes, when the sun hits you in a slightly different way and you know that winter has departed.

That day is today.

So I thought we'd point to a little video to say farewell to winter. It features two of my favourite things; snow and kiting (although down here in Florida it's usually kitesurfing). This is from the folks at Ozone (posted on YouTube). Enjoy.
