For those of you who love words, as I do, here's a site to look at and Learn a New Word.
I have learned the word burmal:
(BROO-mull)
Pertaining to or occurring in winter.
It's from Latin bruma, meaning "winter." (Interestingly, the Latin word bruma itself is thought to be adapted from the Latin term for "winter solstice" -- brevima diesor "shortest day.")
"Once again, the inclement weather and resulting cabin fever was quickly adding up to another brumal bummer for Brunhilde."
