Tulita’s Seasons

Written by:

They say that Canada has four seasons:

  • Almost Winter
  • Winter
  • Still Winter, and
  • Construction

I’ve now spent a year in Tulita and can have a stab at describing the local seasons. Starting from right now, we have:

  • Mud and bugs (Sept-Oct)
  • Freezing but snowless (Nov-Dec)
  • The Darkness, aka Static Shock Season (Jan-Feb)
  • Sunny fields of white (Mar-May)
  • Suddenly hot (Jun-Aug)

I just asked one of the cops how he’d classify the seasons and here’s what he had:

  • People out of town goose hunting
  • Liquor comes to town by boat
  • People out of town caribou hunting
  • Liquor comes to town by ice-road

I’m curious how Faye’d classify Tulita’s seasons too. Maybe she’ll do a post about it?
