I just need to point out that in the northern US, winter is NEVER OVER IN EARLY FEBRUARY.
Honestly.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think its a reasonable assumption that the vast, vast, VAST majority of parents would not let their children do something unsafe.
You are less cynical than I am. So our definitions of reasonable differ.
I think it's a snap to find hundreds of children whose parents a) aren't paying attention b) don't care c) are wrong or d) can be distracted. You have a more cuddly view of human nature.

Why are you in places with appreciable winters, then?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have an inexplicable fondness for George Michael's Freedom '90. This makes me feel very old.
My ipod has an explicable fondness for Lyle Lovett songs. This makes me feel very happy. Or sad, depending on the songs that come up.

sara, you have at least a shot of early spring coming in February. Sue? I really hate to break this to you, but you live in Canadia! It's going to be cold for some time there. Sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Are you a groundhog? I don't think you have the authority to tell us that unless you're an oversized rodent. Also, if you are in fact an oversized rodent, let me congratulate you on your language skills.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Different places have different definitions of "winter."
Though I gotta admit that my first winter in NC, winter ended in mid-February when the temps got up to (and stayed at) 80.

If you only know how many times a day I ask myself this.

Sobs.
Vancouver is starting to look pretty good.
