context1: <strong>Winter</strong> sports include swimming/diving and wrestling for men; cheerleading and step/drill for women; and basketball (which had its best <strong>seasons</strong> under great longtime coach Paul Lyons), bowling, and indoor track for men and women. Spring sports include baseball and tennis for men; softball and step/drill for women; and outdoor track for men and women. Many sports are played at both varsity and junior varsity levels, and intramural activities are also offered.
context2: In large cities with heavy snowfalls like Montreal and Ottawa, the snow clearing expense for each <strong>season</strong> is an important part of the seasonal public works budget and each snow storm provokes a major logistical operation involving thousands of employees working in shifts 24 hours a day. The effort can vary greatly depending on the amount of snow. Montreal gets about 225cm of snow each <strong>winter</strong> and spends more than $128 million Canadian each year to remove it.
