Rainfall isn’t one of the typical sounds of a Grey-Bruce winter, but it’s been the unexpected soundtrack in recent days. That’s set to change soon, with colder temperatures bringing back the more familiar sounds of the season.
In her latest Between Our Steps column, Cathy Hird reflects on one of winter’s most recognizable sensory moments — the crunch of snow underfoot. From the quiet hush of snowfall to the sharp bite of wind through bare branches, Hird explores how sound shapes our experience of winter in subtle and meaningful ways.
