Brrrrr. That's cold!
Its upon us. The rain has turned white and remains on the ground.
Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss how humans navigate winter on this episode of The Growing Season.
Matt discusses his love of The Weather Network and snow days. Lynne delivers the bad news about this winter's forecast.
Brine, road salt and the methods used to de-ice roads are highlighted. "Beet-brine" is the last tech on the scene. You read that correctly.

Jack tells a story about breaking his shoulder on a walk around the block.
Snow ploughs and heart attacks... There's a correlation.

Waterproof matches and where to get them are discussed.
