‘If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?’

Time’s winged chariot screeches to an emergency stop and slams into reverse gear for an hour tonight, as the clocks (in the northern hemisphere) do their weird time machine shtick before facing up to the arrival of winter.

Hmm, it does all make us wonder if ol’ Father Time is in denial about winter and tries his utmost to stop it from arriving (perhaps he suffers from SAD?).

But as Shelley (perhaps somewhat mischievously) mused: ‘If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?’
