Answer :

I live in the states and have always chuckled to myself that people talk about it being colder than any ********* ever before, or more snow than ever before, or hotter than ever before. Generally it is cyclical. If you live long enough you go through some very cold winters and some very warm ones, I realized this in my teens. In my family we just referred to it as a cold winter this year. But getting darker is a new one. It will be interesting to hear what people say to that.
