The Cold Snap

Once or twice a winter the cold comes through and everything changes for a few days. We cover the garden before dark, set out jars of water to see which ones freeze, and find out why a clear, still night is the coldest.

Dark comes before bedtime in winter. We go outside after supper, learn to find Orion and the Big Dipper, and watch them move while we stand still.
Which winter set is right for us?
Winter looks different depending on where you live, so we made two sets of six. If your winters are mild and wet, this is your set. If your winters bring snow, look at Winter in Cold Places instead.
