Winter is heavy since the cold air is denser and therefore heavier than warm air. How can Spring replace Winter? By force. When enough pressure from more and more warm air builds up, the warm can move the cold. But typically not without a fight, which, to us, is a storm. You may have heard of the storm we had over the last few days in central Wisconsin. We got 28 inches of snow in two days. We have only gotten about 4" several times over the winter. As Lynn wrote recently, it is now spring and we feel unfairly 
While it snowed and snowed, we enjoyed an episode of The Crown, a Netflix program about the current Queen Elizabeth. Lynn watched her coronation on live television in 1953 when we were young teens. The Crown includes John Lithgow as an aging Winston Churchill. The show was written by Peter Morgan. The most recent episode we watched showed Churchill suffering a stroke. He was the major leader of Britain during World War II and it seems that he couldn't believe that anyone else could lead the country as well as he could. So, when he suffered a stroke, he managed to have all the ministers and staff keep the truth from the young queen and explain his absences from meetings as being due to a cold. Meanwhile the queen began to feel that she had not been sufficiently educated. In many discussions with her ministers, she didn't understand the matter at hand and decided to engage a tutor for herself. She was appalled and angry when she learned of the conspiracy to mislead her. She appealed to her tutor for advice on handling the situation. She could see that it was her regal duty to call some of the greatest men in the world to task. Her tutor explained that it was indeed her duty to strongly lecture, complain and admonish. He told her that the men who needed dressing down were "upper class, male and British" and would appreciate being admonished by their nanny. She made it vigorously clear that they had failed in their duty, undermined her trust in them, and interfered with her performance of her own duty to the realm.
