If white has a superlative form, we can say it’s the whitest December of the decade, maybe the century, so far. Could there be a better excuse to revise and learn winter related phrases, sayings, idioms and quotes?

❓ What did Aristotle have to say about the beauty of a snowflake?

❓ What did Camus learn in the depth of winter?

❓ What do those have to do in winter who sing through the summer, according to the Italian proverb?

❓ When did Dickens find winter in the shade?

❓ What is winter’s fruit, according to the Arabian proverb?

❓ Why did Coleridge think advice was like the snow?

❓ What is a whiteout?
