Tower of the Hand

It's believed that a preternatural event upended the traditional cycle of seasons in Westeros. As I shoveled snow this morning for the first time in a long while, it occurred to me how wonderful it would be to have summer last for years. Then I realized how dismal life would be in the period of winter. Would it really be worth the trade-off?
