    Better game than that one with north american-only time zones.

    On a different note, weather and vernacular.

    Any place with a snowy season, *knows* about their snowy season. They think about it. The season is on the author's mind by default, and it's tough to step back from. Any outdoor scene, any coming in from the outdoor scene...

    The weather is real important. The season or clothing or time of year is likely to be noted. But for people that live with less variable temperatures, it's not such a big deal.

    Then, more and probably obviously in a written story - spelling differences, 'color vs colour', acronyms and politics that are assumed fro the context to be considered normal or common knowledge, all that.

    Real estate agent weather is over, and it's drizzle, mist, and far-off whistles from the railroad and the water; cover up your patio furniture and don't neglect that Vitamin D supplement.
