there. But last winter, when everybody wanted to go skiing, (3) any
snow at all. Here in Oxford (4) very windy yesterday - but that's
normal. (5) often a strong wind in spring, but yesterday
(6) really cold too. My sister lives on the east side of the country, and
she said that yesterday (7) really dark in the middle of the afternoon
and (8) a storm. It frightened her kids. Today is different again!
(9) cloudy. (10) no rain yet, but I know
(ii) coming. Yeah - the first drop has just landed on the window!
