This particular series confuses me about what it is trying to accomplish. It's been a bad winter in Iraq, but I also don't think he has enough new to say, and it's too soon after the fall speeches.

Michael O'hanlon

The gold medal in the men's aerials is not only the first gold in snow events for China, but also the first gold from Chinese male athletes at the Winter Games. It strengthens the confidence of all Chinese athletes who are doing snow sports.

Xiao Tian

I felt that I had nothing to lose, but everything to gain coming to Saratoga, ... I think I've accomplished my mission. I've been riding races for everybody and have gotten some good exposure. I'm thinking about going to Gulfstream (Park) over the winter and hopefully by riding here, I'll have some more business if I go.

Ramon Dominguez

Things have slowed down this winter, we're trying to schedule volunteers for the spring and summer now.

Mary Woodward

The Canadian public just loves winter sports. These are things that are a part of our lives for a good four to five months of the year.

Patricia Chafe

And when you add to that gas prices and home-heating prices that are going through the ceiling this winter, it shouldn't give much comfort to the Republicans.

Joe Gaylord

She practices all the time. In the winter she would spend hours at her hit-away, swinging hundreds on her right and hundreds on her left.

Lynn Reichart

Even though it snowed quite a bit, it was a relatively warm winter down low, so the snow line goes from a lot of snow to no snow very quickly. So, some of our low-elevation sites are below average.

Jon Lea

I'm a lot more confident in my speed events after my experience this winter. I haven't had the kind of results at this level I've been used to in the past so it has been a bit challenging to cope with.

Shona Rubens

The biggest hazard with winter camping is the weather. Check the forecast and know what you're getting into. ... Be aware of hypothermia.

Lee Taylor

We've been right on schedule. The weather this winter has been great, and that's a big thing on the construction timeline.

Ryan Horn

We'll start seeing the sun peeking out in the next few days, and that will clear things up. We kind of got spoiled with January, and now we're back to normal type of winter conditions.

Steve Piltz

We had the best practice we've had all year, believe it or not. I'm not sure if the outcome against Winter Park will really tell us a whole lot, because they are extremely talented, but it will be interesting to see how we play.

Mac Whitaker

I have got a lot stronger this winter. Last summer I was running for just 700m before tiring.

Karen Harewood

[25. Finally, reconsider hosiery. Yes, hosiery. It's the finishing touch to fall's more finished looks.] I grew up in an era of ladylike dressing, and I've never gone without hosiery, ... In the middle of the summer, yes, but for winter or fall, no. A leg that has hosiery on it looks elegant.

Joan Kaner

Despite winter weather, this is a desirable area because it's not commercialized with malls or fast food places.

William Gustafson

Home heating assistance is necessary for many New Jerseyans to keep their homes warm this winter. Congress needs to act now in order to avoid a crisis.

Rush Holt

We just beat Canada at curling in the Winter Olympics in Italy. It doesn't get any better than that.

Joel Retornaz

It's not a big deal. Just a little stiffness the first time out because I didn't throw a ball all winter.

Brian Lawrence

A scud is another one of my other winter flies. On the Reef it is the fly.

Adam Grant

As El Nino matures, it is expected to first impact the Atlantic hurricane season in late September and October, then U.S. temperatures and precipitation in the fall and winter.

Jim Laver

We continue to view near-term sector weakness as more opportunity than risk as we head toward winter.

Doug Leggate

At the start of the winter, they talked about a colder than expected winter. Now they're talking about a warmer than expected one. We're not out of the woods with the weather yet.

Sam Tilley

Many of the indicators associated with end-of-winter or the beginning of the growing season show very uniform movement ? about a week ? earlier. This is consistent with predictions, and it is scientific evidence that we don't need to wait decades or years to see dramatic climate change ? it's happening all around us right now.

Adam Markham

The mild temperatures of early January have made eagle viewing excellent this year. Open water has held Ohio birds and enticed northern birds to winter over, giving us a tremendous count this year.

Mark Shieldcastle

Being such a strong winter sport country with selling tickets we don't expect it will be a problem. If we don't sell out everything we will, to some, degree fail.

David W. Cobb

The Summer hath his joys, / And Winter his delights. / Though Love and all his pleasures are but toys, / They shorten tedious nights.

Thomas Campion

If the crisis continues for too long and the winter is tough, then we have our limits too.

Burckhard Bergmann

This is amazing. We had a meet at Winter Haven where the skies were black and it never rained, another meet where the rain held up, and now this one. It's a good omen.

Jen Gosline

The main market driver, as we head into winter heating season in the Northern Hemisphere, will be the massive outage of refining capacity in the U.S. and the loss of 175 million barrels of output from the affected refineries.

Michael Wittner

I think it's less likely that it will come this winter.

Sir Liam Donaldson

It's still winter up here on top of the mountain, so as for as killing off any plants or anything like that it's actually kind of jump starting them and will rejuvenate them a little bit.

Julena Campbell

Prices for all kinds of heating -- natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and propane -- have all risen since last year. But thanks to a warm winter and higher inventory levels, the price of natural gas is continuing to decline. We're pleased to pass along these savings to our customers in Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.

Charles Rawson

We need to get through one more hurricane season and winter of Nor' Easters. A lot of our beaches are in poor shape. A series of powerful storms in the 1990s have eroded large sections of sand and dunes. One more major hit and we could be in big trouble. There are thousands of lives, homes, businesses and public property at stake here. They are at clear risk.

Jim Saxton

To have gone through the winter (and) had the kind of sales we had, we're elated.

Ralph Falbo

[Rather than waiting for inspiration, the artist started to find inspiration just by continually working her canvases. As her confidence grew, the panic she'd experienced when something wasn't perfect, abated.] It's like being cold in winter and you can't imagine that you'll ever be hot, or hot in summer, when you don't believe you'll ever be cold, ... Now I say, 'It's OK. You know this feeling.'

Frank Mullins

We just want people to come over and be entertained by all our media. It's the perfect antidote for a dreary winter day.

Shannon Mitchell

I've been working hard all winter, preparing myself mentally and physically for this spot. It's my third time [on the PGA Tour], and I know I can play at this level. I've done it enough on the Nationwide Tour and I know there's not a lot of difference in the golf.

Jeff Gove

It's a fun social event. What better thing to do in the middle of winter than eat chocolate?

Deborah Miller

There was always something strange about Jim, wearing slacks and shoes with no socks, even in winter.

Michael Stone

It's getting into winter months, and we could have bad weather and the drivers need to be able to call someone in case something happens.

Debbie Davis

Denver is the top U.S. place for travel bargains based on its low prices, affordable attractions, like the Denver Zoo, and natural beauty, including the Rocky Mountains, which offer a broad range of fun, outdoor activities to visitors. In fact, this winter we're seeing rates at 4-star hotels in Denver for less than $100 per night.

Barbara Messing

They want to be a sports superpower. That led to their pursuit of the Olympics. But they understand that to be a superpower, they have to do well in both winter and summer.

Steve Roush

With winter speeding by, there isn't much time left to generate significant demand. Unless several weeks of sustained cold materialize over the next two months or so, supply should be more than adequate. This could weigh heavily on prices if this condition persists into the restocking season after April 1st.

John Kilduff

Once we've had a certain amount of rain, as we've had this winter, things are just more prone to slide.

Gary Griggs

These GMAC winter rate incentives provide GM Certified customers with tremendous value and affordable financing on some of our most popular SUVs and other vehicles. GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to lead the certified pre-owned category in delivering top-quality, low-mileage, fully inspected and reconditioned vehicles that help build consumer confidence in GM products.

Paul Pejza

It was a living hell. In the winter, we have 700,000 hits a day on our Web site from people trying to plan vacations, students doing reports, and professors and scientists trying to access environmental data. We have 1.2 million hits a day in the summer. People weren't able to do that when we were shut down.

David Barna

If the reduction in supplies should prove to be especially large or last for a long time or the winter turns out to be especially cold, then we will hit the limits of our capacities.

Burckhard Bergmann

Many women are familiar with the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman programs offered in Michigan, and this special weekend will focus on winter activities in one of the most beautiful places for snow-related recreation in the Midwest.

Ann Wilson

I think the pickings are going to be leaner than consumers expect because business has been fairly robust. I think we've had a relatively mild winter, which means the early spring merchandise that's on display has been hitting a better weather consumer mood. I think, given that inventories are probably moving quite well, there isn't going to be much clearance selling for spring.

George Rosenbaum

The number of cheap seats available to the general public will dwindle as a result of higher energy prices, ... For the peak family travel times during the winter -- Christmas and Thanksgiving -- I expect that the cheap seats won't be there to be sold.

Tom Parsons

Ice fishing has become a fairly high-tech activity, with many winter anglers becoming tech-savvy by using fish locators, GPS units and underwater video cameras. By putting fishing information in an easy-to-access format on the Web, we hope to not only encourage ice fishing but also help anglers be successful and safe while they are on the ice.

Tim Smalley

Helping customers manage their bills is a priority for us. This includes encouraging customers to take advantage of 'Budget Billing,' whereby they can spread their bills evenly over the year, thus avoiding the jumps that come with higher usage in summer and winter.

Gary Stockbridge

Save the Children has made great strides to address the immediate emergency situation, but huge challenges remain. We are mounting an urgent effort to meet the winter-survival needs of earthquake-affected children and their families.

Bruce Rasmussen

We're pleased that the BPU has approved the franchise so that Elizabethtown Gas can provide natural gas service to the entire community. We've done the groundwork and are ready to move quickly, starting in the Fawn Run area, so that those who live and work in Bloomsbury can rely on natural gas to heat their homes and businesses this winter and beyond.

Don Carter

Using tags, we know where they are in the summer and fall, but not in the winter.

Greg Skomal

We ended up slightly above normal, but it didn't rank anywhere as far as the warmest winter ... Just to get into the top 20 it would have to be a 35-degree average.

Brad Rehak

Last winter we canned venison, spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, chili sauce, tomato soup, turkey, catsup, barbecue sauce, fish, sweet potatoes, duck, butternut squash, pumpkins and potatoes. You might say that whatever we find, we can. The entries will help out the competition at the fair and it will give the boys a little bit of income.

Janel Maurer

This is great. We've always thought a lot of this horse. We had a slight doubt about the ground, but he's handled it. He's super, he gave 110 per cent. He travelled good and picked up well. You have to give it (the 2000 Guineas) a go now. He won't run again this year and it will make the winter a bit shorter!

Kevin Ryan

We'll get a little reprieve from it with systems coming through every three or four weeks, but that's not going to cut it. We had a drought in the summer and it continued into the fall - Hurricane Rita did nothing to stop that - and we're in the winter now and still in a drought.

Kent Kuyper

Checker players used to be upstairs (in the courthouse) especially in the winter, ... Ben Blackman used to walk five miles (from the Blackman community), play checkers and go back. I can't imagine that. He was at least 60 years old.

Jeff Mullins

That totally changed how I thought. I don't think I'll be snowboarding again this winter.

Lara Heigis

If you had a long winter, and the ice stayed on the lake longer than you expected, people really got nervous by the middle of April.

Bill Beck

This winter is the first time I am generally discouraged about economic trends in Iraq.

Michael O'hanlon

It's a great show. It's a beautiful day. We're going to go to Annapolis (the Annapolis Powerboat Show in October) from here and probably make a decision over the winter.

Ray Keller

It could very well be that this winter session is shorter than expected.

Lior Horev

The figures demonstrate that worldwide interest in the Olympic Winter Games is high.

Jacques Rogge

The mild winter we had really helped. We were blessed with good construction weather.

Mike Parks

It's an inherently dangerous fishery because it's done in the middle of winter.

Nick Furman

The real problem will be if the drought doesn't break over the winter.

Ralph Davis

Considering the cloudy winter we have had, I would say those numbers are excellent.

Mike Tierney

Most people don't realize that we have mosquitoes year-round. The winter varieties, known as tree stump mosquitoes, lay eggs in tree stumps that then fill with water. But this year they aren't limited to finding water pools inside rotting stumps. They can be anywhere with all this rain.

Randy Phillips

Forces can come together that turn crisis for some into disaster -- that's really what I think we could be looking at this winter. ... It's just like Hurricane Katrina. They knew it was coming, but little was done to prepare an effective response. And the same thing is happening here.

Jerry Mckim

I saw [State Radio] at Irving Plaza in New York City over winter break. They played to a sold-out crowd among other acts, and State Radio was the band the crowd got into the most.

Andrew Hobson

After the groundhog, they predicted a more mild winter. The storm took me by surprise.

Darrell Smith

We can't forget it's still winter. The last few weeks, with 50-, 55-degree weather, you don't think winter. You start thinking, it's going to be great, it's going to be an early spring. But then this refreshes our memory. I think it was a wake up call for everybody.

Duke Hart

I see it as a positive step to protect the integrity of the sport. I have always viewed the winter option as detrimental when fall and spring are considered.

Greg Wall

He had to go through a very dark winter being blind, and go through that as a 12 year old. But he's had a great spring, a great summer and now in the fall, he's going to have a lot of fun.

Chris Lucas

Now you know that spring is here. It wasn't a bad winter, but I love spring.

Theresa Anderson

Think about it. The winter of Valley Forge. He's not sleeping on the ground. He's not wet. And he's got air above him, so he's not freezing.

Christian W. Overland

When the customer arrives for their test drive, they will have a reserved Internet parking spot and the car they inquired about will be pulled up and warmed up in the winter or cooled down in the summer.

Bryan Hopkins

The Winter Olympics are being held in Turin, Italy. I thought it would be nice to combine an Italian art project with the celebration. We have celebrated the Olympics at Washington for many years. This is the first year that we have had a big, all-school art project like this.

Jessica Stortz

In the South there seems to be two seasons where tornadoes mostly occur: in the late fall and then sometimes in the late winter into early spring. We don't get as many down this close to the Gulf Coast as they do more inland, but it's not unheard of.

Tim Destri

An embarrassed Catholic... goes to Mass, to be sure. But an onlooker might suppose that he was seeing a man awaiting the dentist's drill. Great gloom emanating from the facial expression, heavy winter jacket all bunched up, mouth clamped firmly shut during anything as stupid as singing, and a beeline for the door at the instant of dismissal.

Thomas Howard

We're making up for winter now. March is December.

Rudy Cruz

This winter has been pretty mild overall. Once we get past this cold night, it looks like we'll be back to normal, at least through to next week.

John Mcmichael

This is sort of an exotic state for us because it was difficult for us to get here. Some Americans think, in Moscow, the bears walk across the street, with people in winter hats.

Alexander Volkov

It's to get people out in the winter so they're not at home sitting in front of the TV.

Linda Fowler

I think it's a good thing for us. We've done it in football, and during the winter break it makes sense to do that in basketball.

Jim Sterk

I figured I'd have to go to winter ball to prove that I was healthy. When Baltimore called, when the offer came from the Orioles, I was excited about it. It is comfortable here.

Howie Clark

A flat market is normal during the winter months.

Derrick Harris

It's a winter weather pattern. We expect it to be tapering off through the weekend.

Bob Farrell

They have been on the water all winter long. We barely got on the water.

Will Miller

We are net short every winter. We just don't make enough to fuel the demand of California.

Mary Reynolds

This is the most exciting part of the winter and South Africa are a good team who will provide a good test for us.

Michael Vaughan

Although there has been very little rain so far this winter, mosquito prevention remains the key to preventing West Nile virus. By controlling mosquitoes now, we can reduce their populations in spring and summer.

Gary Erbeck

It wasn't bad, ... I've got all winter to rest up. I'm not really concerned with pitch counts at this point. You just do whatever it takes to win.

Jason King

I moved here from Boston in 1981 and got the feeling that not much happened around here with running. Six months later, there's the first Kingston Classic and all that thinking changed. I love the day and for me it signals that we made it through another Catskill winter.

Dave Chandler

We did not have the strength of herd control last year that we felt was necessary, and this winter up north has been relatively mild.

Keith Warnke

[The court postponement means that the completion of the roadwork is postponed until next spring, as well, provided the court case is settled by that time.] Its not going to hurt it to let it go over the winter, ... The road may be a little rougher but its not a safety problem.

Chris Baldwin

As tempting as it may be in the cold months of winter, avoid hot water. Hot water strips the skin of naturally occurring oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead.

Fiquet Bailey

We're already facing record-high prices this winter.

Martin Cohen

Customers who have an inability to pay but have been working with us through the winter need to contact us to make sure we are on the same page. If they've been making an effort to pay, we'll work with those customers.

Kerry Spees

That game was the whole season in a nutshell. We got our butts handed to us. We had a sour taste in our mouth all spring, all summer and all winter.

Pat Julmiste

What they have on 1 December is what they have all winter.

Andrew Macleod

Flunk Day is a campus tradition. It celebrates our community and the camaraderie we all feel after a long winter.

Karrie Heartlein

We believe demand could be very strong for oil products as we head into winter, because of high natural gas prices.

Deutsche Bank

I think we have a better opportunity than any other team. I think the key time will be the winter meetings.

Drayton Mclane

I think we're very much a winter sports country.

Dave Cobb

It's a rare chance to see them (locomotives) operate in the winter.

Richard Carroll

Among the best equipped in the world, ready to face environments ranging from desert conditions in Iraq, monsoon conditions in Brunei, to winter in the Balkans.

Adam Ingram

Winter does adversely affect [the roads] and our roads have been let go, so they're more and more porous. We're going to have to put more and more emphasis on permanent patch and maintenance, so I expect a great deal of roads breaking up in the spring.

Dan Ryan

Mr. Eaton either doesn't know what he's talking about, he's being deceptive, or a combination of both. Of course Clarksville could have hedged last spring for this past winter, that's the way we do business.

Mark Mccutchen

Our heavy industries are feeling this acutely this winter as tightness in supplies hit gas prices. This is something we'll want to learn from when drawing up our proposals.

Malcolm Wicks

I'm lucky right now as far as school. I had to miss seven days of school for the tournament, but we're on winter break right now so I can make it all up.

Matt Mahalak

Digital Chocolate has 60% of its developers in Finland where the sun never sets in the summer and there is nothing to do outside in the winter, so we are very productive!

Trip Hawkins

We're getting Tony Jr. and Dale Jr. working together here the end of the year, and we'll straighten the rest of this mess out over the winter.

Tony Eury Sr.

Winter's not over yet, and this system looks like it could make it feel more like winter soon.

Patrick O'hara

They are a good unit and we've not only got size, we've got speed. We've got a lot of strength, James Cain, Green and Koz were in the weight room all winter and summer -- they became men.

Larry Peacock

We get people of every age. We attract extremely avid hikers who've logged a thousand miles in a year to families looking for some winter exercise. We have drawn as little as 80 people and as many as 250. Last year, we drew about 125.

Bridget Derrick

Depending on how hard a winter we have, we could very well be short of hay.

Charles Miller

When the season winds up there is a big sigh of relief, but it doesn't take much of the three months we are closed to want to get back at it. We have made some changes and improvements over the winter and things are shaping up for a great season.

Monty Morrow

I don't think it will be dependent upon sales, but winter. I wouldn't be surprised if we have it all sold (with those on the waiting list) before we even advertise. I'll know more in a month. This may not go to the Multiple Listing Service.

Tom Crowley

My affinity for trees as a material seems to come from a childhood spent wandering the forest around Southern Pines - a place with thick underbrush and many intersecting lines evident in the bare winter branches of trees.

Patrick Dougherty

Memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, winter and summer, the seeds of their past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them to life.

Hal Boyle

The U.S. could win eight or even nine medals in snowboarding alone. It's hip. It's youthful. There are a lot of activities in the Winter Olympics that don't appeal to the younger demographic.

Tracy Anderson

The market is highly sensitized to headlines that could affect supply. Anxiety over supplies and possible disruptions are the key drivers of price now. It's hard to be bearish in a market like this. Levels came off the record high mainly due to profit-taking because prices went up too quickly. But $65-$70 seems a very distinct possibility as we approach winter.

Tony Nunan

Gasoline tends to obscure everything, especially since we aren't paying heating bills right now. But we were already looking at a winter fuel problem. We're about to take another hit that will cause a lot of problems.

Bob Tippee

We have earthquakes, we have tornadoes, we have floods, we have windstorms and we definitely have winter storms.

Kathy Davis

Coach (Hank) Murray has an Irish jig we do after a win and we haven't done it since the first game after the winter break. We were excited.

Terry Youngbauer

[Popular sympathy for snowbirds is often restrained by class envy and the phenomenon of all the out-of-state tags in winter traffic jams. But economists consider them an asset.] Their economic impact is substantial, ... I think that's reflected by the fact that other states are actively attempting to attract them.

Stan Smith

There was that period of time, everybody had told me about six months, before you really got it. It took me that long, plus when I started it was during the winter. I worked the big storm and it made me kind of think.

Andrea Snyder

Traditionally we don't do sweeping in the winter months, but we've been blessed with a mild January.

Rob Morosi

If our president is not released immediately, the dying regime must brace itself for a long winter of intense but peaceful mass action.

Gibson Sibanda

The young crop is a lot more talented than any group in years' past. I'm pretty proud of the accomplishments that we made in the winter. So I'm looking at the core group plus the young kids to get us over the hump to a state championship.

Warren Deshields

I'm anxious for winter to be over.

Joe Mcgee

You look at your own individual situation and visualize yourself being trapped in that house with no power and no water, and in the winter time, with no heat.

Al Smith

The focus is on gasoline prices and all this gouging stuff. But the larger worry as far as I'm concerned is winter fuel.

Bob Tippee

That causes a problem in case of power outage, which we had once last winter. So we got a generator to use when we need it.

Luke Meyette

Winter weather can vary greatly from year to year, and our staff and equipment have been on standby since last week.

Tom Mitchell

Right now there is no soil moisture to speak of anyway, and as we began getting toward late winter into early spring and we begin warming up, that would mean if we didn't get any rain that the soil moisture conditions would just worsen and we would have very, very difficult agriculture situation.

John Hehr

Spending patterns last year for the weekend of Dec. 7 when the storm hit were significantly above the average for the holiday season, up 19 percent, ... While it's difficult to predict exactly how consumers will respond this time around, a winter storm certainly does increase the convenience appeal and the likelihood that consumers will shift their spending from offline to online channels.

Graham Mudd

Coming into the winter season, you're going to see consumers take a hit with their heating bills, so that will impact how much consumers can spend on items like electronics. I have concerns about the macroeconomic picture, but these concerns are already reflected in most chip stocks' prices.

Amrit Tewary

We put Winter [Sneed] out tonight so she could show us coaches what she could do. We believe she can do it, she's got to believe it too.

Aaron Murphy

To be honest, sometimes a rock worm feels like cheating because it's fishing a worm. It is a fantastic pattern that I've done really well on this winter.

Adam Grant

Our birth rates nationally peak in late summer and early fall. People spend a lot more time indoors in winter, especially in the north, because it's cold outside. The statistics don't lie.

Carl Haub

Very few bass, lots of sturgeon. It has been the best sturgeon winter in many years. But weather is so crappy you can't always fish for them.

Keith Fraser

Obviously, given what we saw we think he has an opportunity to make the team. Give him a full spring training as a true position player and maybe some winter ball, it's something that we think he has the ability to play in the big leagues.

John Mozeliak

The weather this winter was favorable and the racing offered solid, competitive fields vying for the best purse structure on the East Coast. We hope to continue this positive momentum when racing shifts to Belmont Park next month.

Bill Nader

Winter is not over and we still have a national energy problem to solve, but the wholesale cost of natural gas is trending down slightly and we are passing those savings along to customers. These lower prices, although still high by historical standards, should be welcome news to customers who have been challenged to pay this winter despite warmer weather.

Vectren Chairman

Different sports will have different challenges, ... Hockey has been done a little bit. I'm not aware of anyone doing basketball. It's sort of a starting spot with us for baseball. We have talked about doing this for our NHL package. We're still fine-tuning that for the winter.

Rick Briggs

It isn't where natural gas prices will be this winter or even next winter, but where the prices will be over the lifetime of the project.

Jerry Taylor

Fish prices were good this winter, but the weather was terrible. Then in March when it was started to look good, we saw they'd shut down fishing in April and May.

Joe Orlando

We have a lot of T-shirts. We want to make room for winter stuff.

Amy Schoenecker

Bangladesh is highly significant as a wintering area for the spoon-billed sandpipers. But we are very concerned that the last suitable habitat for them will be destroyed over the next few years.

Christoph Zockler

Phil the groundhog must be wondering why he bothered hibernating this winter.

Dale Mohler

Troy gave us a real battle last year. It's going to be our first match outside. I expect it to be a challenge for us because, one, its going to be our first match outside. Also, it's a very good team, a team that has been playing outside basically all winter long.

Billy Chadwick

In order to withstand the cold, the penguins have a habit of standing very still during winter months.

Tetsuo Yamazaki

Boating is a healthy family activity that builds skills and fosters team buildings. Studies show that kids benefit from boating -- and beside, the Spring Boating Expo is a fun alternative to these cold winter days.

Van Snider

We want to get new and unique programs. I was tempted to buy a snow machine this winter!

Sean Benson

This validates our business plan and demonstrates that despite the fact that the industry environment has gotten tougher, the United business plan can attract even more all-debt exit financing than it could last winter.

Jake Brace

I love skiing and playing in the snow, and I love everything about the winter environment. It gives you opportunity to get creative, be a kid again. You can build all types of snow shelters.

Matt Lloyd

I believe the situation is getting very, very serious. Winter is coming very soon, and the international humanitarian community needs to act very quickly.

Kenzo Oshima

We're not expected to break any records, but it'll be a pleasant winter weekend.

Scott Kelly

[Travel to off-season destinations. You can save on summer travel by staying at winter resorts.] Many ski reports have great summer programs, ... with terrific facilities and wilderness at your door, but much less expensive than in ski season.

Amy Ziff

Winter, it seems, is back with a vengeance.

Matthew Dobson

I did a lot of work over the winter and I fixed a few things. I'm hitting the ball a lot farther and a lot straighter.

Max Buckley

I'm excited to see the new addition, ... The goal is to have the new wing under roof by December so they can work inside it during the winter months.

Mike Campbell

Energy is going to catch the attention of the market. It's probably a force that's not going to leave because we're in transition from concern about oil to concerns about natural gas and how that will affect consumer spending as we head into winter.

John Augustine

If historical trends holds true, January will likely show higher rates across much of the state as winter weather slows work in agriculture and construction jobs.

Wayne Gasson

I think what we have learned is that local history is a big attraction. It does get people out even in the middle of winter.

Tom Murray

It was horrible -- hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and mud everywhere. If they are considering tents again, that's shocking.

Craig Haney

Bonner and Boundary County have been victimized by domestic terrorism and the areas will feel the financial pains as the winter season continues.

Tom Holman

It's impossible for China to devote itself fully to developing winter sports.

Xiao Tian

Soil moisture that is root-system deep will help almost any ornamental planting do a better job of getting through winter.

Ward Upham

We weren't running our heaters very much this winter and this would have the effect of slowing down production.

Diane Swonk

Overall, we continue to expect the group to be volatile yet directionless here as seasonally depressed winter data are reported over the next several weeks, but remain convinced that the group is positioned to rally on the back of stronger than expected spring-order data.

Stephen Kim

Residents often seek out our services in the winter after their heat has been shut off for not paying bills.

Anita Foster

It turned out a pretty good season for us. It wasn't really that great of a winter, weather-wise.

Pete Meyer

It's going to feel awfully like winter.

Mike Rusnak

Winter is coming back in a very big way, and you need to be prepared for an extended period of very cold weather.

David Arnold

I have a real interest in winter sports. I ice climb and ski and do mountaineering. I'm going to try to do Denali this summer.

Laurel Arndt

Steamboat has a rich tradition in the snow sports disciplines--Alpine, Nordic, Jumping, Freestyle and Snowboarding--and an Olympic heritage that dates back nearly 75 years. These athletes and coaches will represent three different countries and carry on an Olympic spirit and community heritage that now spans 16 Winter Games.

Rick Devos

Mother Nature is going to be huge in the next several weeks. Long term I think we're headed to $30 to $35, but I don't think we're doing that yet. We have a lot of winter left.

Kyle Cooper

People think, 'It's a winter hike, I don't have to take as much water,' but they do.

Sarah Davis

This is testament to the investment the AOC has made in these two disciplines at the Olympic Winter Institute.

Craig Phillips

It's true, I like to shop, especially at the start of a new season. I know, it's still winter, but it was sunny this morning.

Grace Lee

I'm glad I was there, because I think that house would've gone up real quick. It was the one time the winter parking ban was a good thing.

Robert Lamb

Had the winter set in when it was supposed to have set in, we would have had enormous problems with food come February. The extra time has allowed a lot more to get done. We've had an extra four weeks of shelter rebuilds.

Andrew Macleod

I CARE helps pay heating bills or assists in making homes more energy efficient. Tax-deductible donations help local community action agencies provide valuable financial assistance, which is especially needed in winter as heating bills rise.

Allan Urlis

Because we have already locked in prices for two-thirds of our winter supply, we're expecting customers' bills to be about 15 percent higher than they were last winter.

Nick Stavropoulos

I think it's a general malaise and it's affecting all parts of the (Michigan) economy. Tourism will be affected; I think people are being hit and in winter, they will be hit more than their paychecks have grown. I see nothing that will help this economy, short of big tax cuts.

David Littmann

We've had to do it quite often this winter because of all of the snow we've had.

Jan Mendoza

Truth be told a lot of people are just going to be discovering the Jack's record when they hear this, so I kind of made it the winter companion to the summer album, ... Like the record, [the song] is about coming home, but just kind of coming home from a different circumstance.

Andrew Mcmahon

Sometimes in winter the surface waters, which are less salty, were so cold that the sharks spent more time in warmer, saltier waters below, ... When I glimpsed the sharks' radio positions from these frigid seas, I often wondered what it would be like to overwinter in the wilds of an Alaska fjord chasing herring in constant darkness.

Barbara Block

Our aim is to provide shelter and clothes to all the affected people before the onset of winter. Therefore, it has been decided that Army will adopt two villages, while Indian Air Force, BSF, CRPF and ITBP will adopt a village each for reconstruction.

Vinod Kumar

Turkey hunters can again look forward to high quality year of turkey hunting. Populations were good heading into winter, which was mild to moderate in severity depending on location, and we expect a good survival rate.

Andrea Mezera

Florida tends to be one of those places that people like to play in the winter.

Gary Bongiovanni

We may be six months on from the earthquake and through a mercifully mild winter, but there is still the monsoon to come and the next winter is only seven months away.

Dan Toole

Winter heating oil and gas oil stocks are comfortable right now, but we've lost a lot of refining capacity in the U.S. It's amazingly bullish. That's the bottom line.
