For all that he's not unwilling to make the most of the weather (to the best of his ability to do so), Picard is in a similar boat to Sam. He might certainly have been born on Earth, and France has no shortage of winter weather, yes. But the majority of his life has been spent on a carefully climate-controlled spaceship and even when he's been on away missions they've never been so long as to leave him growing accustomed to the weather of that specific planet. Still, he figures he should be able to tolerate whatever this particular winter should happen to throw at them.

It's Sam's whistle that catches his attention, and he looks up without a second thought, stopping short as he does so.

"Perhaps it's something to do with vantage points?"

There's a shrug to go with his words, as if to suggest that while it's certainly his best guess, he could be perfectly wrong. Indeed, it could be nothing more than mere coincidence, and short of asking how often she finds herself up a tree he has no way of knowing whether it's simply chance or not.
