Clearly this is a trick question. What is the purpose of it other than a grammar lesson? Obviously, if you are in a warm area of the country it is different than winter in Wisconsin! I am not impressed with this style that makes the author feel they outsmarted those that answered in the minority – even though I smelled a trap right off.
