大寒
Big Cold is the last term of the year in the Chinese calendar. We are approaching Chinese New Year, which this year will fall on February 10th. Since Chinese New Year is a moveable feast, it may not belong here at all. However, unlike the Muslim months, it does predictably take place in this cold time of the year, so maybe I will.
The Big Cold term follows "Small Cold", which ends today. This year, here in Seattle, the term lived up to its name fairly well: the last four or five day have been around freezing, and in thick fog.
