But we will see what February (in Ukrainian, it is called 'лютий' [lyutyy] - literally means 'fierce' or 'angry') brings and how quickly spring will come this year. The winter is not yet finished.

The only thing that consoles me is that warm winters help Ukraine survive energy problems and daily shelling a little easier... However, the weather is becoming less predictable, and the current changes may lead to other extreme events, as is already happening in many regions around the globe.

My colleagues also talk about the unusual winter activity of insects, whose annual rhythms are broken by unusual temperature changes.

I have never been to prairies, but it would be so cool to see them one day 🙂
