It's official. Winter is over.

How do I know that Winter is over?

Well I brought my overcoat back upstairs and hung it in the wardrobe. That's how I know. It's my surefire way of knowing that Winter is here when I bring down my overcoat, my gloves and my scarf.

Tonight I came in and saw the tail of the coat hanging down behind all the jackets et cetera so I decided then and there that Winter is over.

You can of course use some other means of determining that Winter is over, such as listening to weather forecasters or looking at animals in a field.

Me. I go by the overcoat rule.
