That looks bloody cold!

Well, it's going to hit -7C tonight, which is cold, but it's nothing to people who live in really cold places. The weird thing about this area is that we get weather from all directions, much like a small island, peninsula, Florida, and Taiwan for that matter, but very unlike a coastal location on a large continent. So it's interesting weather. Japan is very interesting meteorologically speaking. Tonight, it's doing the exact same thing it was in that video I posted earlier, but it's not always like that. Sometimes it's just fucking cold. And sometimes it's cold with wind. And sometimes it's not snow, but freezing rain, or rain that freezes on impact, or something in between that I'm sure Eskimos have a word for.

There's a reason I moved to the tropics so many years ago. I will return.

Seems we're living in opposite universes! What do you wear when you go outside? Do you go outside?

We have to go outside or we start going crazy. We wear way, way too much.
