Let's see...squirrels that live where there is not much snow have dark fur. Those in the Arctic regions have white fur to better hide them from predators.
The squirrel in my photo has diversified its colors perhaps because it lives in an area in between. Just an example

Quote:
it casts a shadow all over Europe's future


this is the quote from Newsweek
notice the "cast"

I have been long puzzled by this word.
Could you give me a comprehensive lecture of this Smile ?

thanks, JB

Not necessary to lecture:

In this sentence, it means like to throw.

a word with divergent meanings

Cast members-actors in a play

Cast in stone-something irrefutable

Cast a shadow-make a shadow or Thok's throw

Cast doubt- have misgivings

Cast a net Thok is to throw a net but cast a shadow involves no throwing...it involves blocking the light technically...but in this case it means to bode poorly in the future.

The poster says "L'hiver a Nice" which simply means "Winter in Nice", or more literally, "The winter in/at Nice", the French town, as panzade pointed out.
