When do you feel that winter is approaching? There are many signs of winter these days around here in Pacific NW. I am not too crazy about the cold weather, but\u00a0I love how we have seasons here. When I see the snow covered mountain, it almost feels like mountains are going to sleep during winter. Snowy mountains are beautiful.<\/p>\n
I have collected some vocabulary that describe winter season below. Do you\u00a0know these words?<\/p>\n
Key words here are:<\/p>\n
