As an owner of an aircooled vanagon I am most acutely aware of winter.
I do have one of the propane cabin heaters which is very nice, but I
rarely use it; preferring to dress warmly.  In Summer I have a fan and a
hatch that opens in the cabin roof just between the driver and passenger
which provides a strong cooling breeze.  Which makes me think of how
Haiku always should make at least some passing reference to the season.

I slide the levers.
Stillness haunts the roaring air.
Still it is winter.
