Does the freezing cold in South Eastern Europe count? God, I hate those SUNNY but cold freezing days... you get fooled so easily and always bring a spring jacket with you... hoping that it really is warm outside...  It seems like I want spring to start now, but forget about the fact that it is only the beginning of February!!! :(

it's like this in central italy too.
pretty mild winter so far, though all kinds of surprises are possible till april's over.
when that north wind (tramontana) blows down from siberia, it clears the sky to an impossible blue and firewood is crackling dry, but it has a wicked edge!

what altitude are you at?  

hang in there!

fuck the wto and the corporate resource rape of the planet!

The weather has been crazy here in North Florida, too.  It was 75 degrees a few days ago.  This morning, it was 25, plus wind.  I, literally, lost the feeling in my hand while smoking a cigarette over a period of about five minutes.  (Needless to say, I wasn't expecting it to be that cold.)  We get massive temperature swings throughout the day -- 30s in the morning, 60s and 70s in the afternoon, and 30s and 40s again at night.  It's like living on Mars.

I love it, though.  Give me cold weather, anyday.  I lived in South Florida long enough to never want to live there again, based on the 90-degree temperatures and my militant hatred for palm trees.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
