Each season has its own way of reminding us that the land sets the terms, not our plans. This weekend, East Lancashire will be held in winter's lingering grip — cold, damp, and grey — as temperatures barely lift above freezing and rain or drizzle settles across the moors and valleys from Saturday through Sunday. It is not a dramatic reckoning, but a quiet insistence from the hills that February is not yet finished.
