winter
/ˈwɪntɚ/
When used as a noun, "winter" can be used with or without the word "the" (e.g., "in winter" or "in the winter"). Both are correct and common. When used as a verb, it is most often applied to animals or people who move to a warmer location for the season. This usage is more common in nature documentaries or travel contexts than in everyday casual conversation.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, David is staring at a frozen laptop screen in his office.
David Smith
My PC just bricked. Think it's because I tried to winter in Florida via VR.
Brian
Did you restart it or are you just messing around?

David uses 'winter' as a verb (meaning to spend the winter in a place) while trying to sound tech-savvy with the term 'bricked' (slang for a device that has become completely non-functional). Brian responds with his signature grumpy, dismissive IT approach.
