　　It’s March, and winter is still not finished in Montreal and Canada. Since Harp¹ and Maura love to talk about the weather they decided² to devote an entire episode to discussing it. They talk about all the things people do during winter, how snowbirds try to get away from it and how others hibernate³! It is also important to participate in lots of outdoor activities, because sometimes you have to embrace it!
