Winter is Upon Us.

The first sign of winter is generally the first frost or snowfall. Being in a prairie province (Alberta) there are not four seasons but only two: winter and construction. The season of construction allows you to wear whatever you want and as little of it.
I have to disagree with the first sign of winter. The first sign of winter is the appearance of down jackets, gloves and toques (beanies for all you yanks out there). Now this appearance is not all together an attractive one. Jackets are generally big and puffy which, if you are girl, completely hide your most promising qualities. I am one of those people who refuses to believe it's cold outside. I will wear a light jacket to the last possible moment. I truly do find winter to the most unattractive season as far as fashion is concerned.
This appearance of down jackets and gloves and toques makes it hard to recognise the attractiveness of a person of the opposite sex. Just think about it for a second, you are on the ski hill and watching the great moves of another person whom you think is the opposite sex of you. Upon realisation (after you hit on them) you see that this person was in fact the same sex as you. With feelings of extreme embarassment you walk away cursing yourself under your breath because you mistook someone for the opposite sex as you. Not only that, but you seriously question your own sexuality.

Did you hit on me at a ski hill, 'cause I totally don't remember that? Sorry, dude.
