Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?
I just need to point out that in the northern US, winter is NEVER OVER IN EARLY FEBRUARY.
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.

Honestly.
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.

Because I got this job before I discovered I hate winter with a great big hate?
I know here really isn't that bad, all things considered.
However, I'm not moving farther north ever. And I'm not kidding. It'd have to be a dream job that pays me an insane amount of money and allows me to be absent during winter.

Crap, amych, you're right. I'm not a rodent at all. OK, I take it all back.

Hey, I said northern!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A teacher where I worked was convicted of pedophilia--which had stretched over many years with many boys. A lot of parents refused to believe it, because he was A) Married with a kid, B) from a good family and a prize-winning teacher, and C)they would then have to admit they trusted their children to a Bad Man and that made them Bad Parents and that couldn't be.
I totally beieve MJ could sleep with kids after all this went down. The pedophile I worked with still claimed (after his conviction) to me in a phone call (I was his daughter's advisor) that people over-reacted and that no kids got hurt and that the boys enjoyed "pushing boundaries." I think he truly believed what he was saying.
