Have you noticed that the temperature here today in the land of "Mile HigH" is currently about 60 degrees F lower than that of Singapore? It seems to happen around this time each year.

Then there is that white stuff on the ground that is great for all those people who go to the mountains in an attempt to come back down in one piece with boards and other strange stuff attached to their feet. But this is snow! It gets frozen (i.e. It is cold like in the Land of Michigan). You have to shovel it (i know you know how to shovel some things. I read your TRs) You have to drive on it without becoming a topic of the morning traffic report (Driver from the tropics spins out on ice and causes a 200 car pileup closing the city!)

You will have to find a vet who makes house calls for the first time your dog decides to lick a frozen light pole and gets permanently stuck.

It's all part of adapting. Think positive: in only four or five months you will be able to put your winter wear away. Until then use ITA for flights to Latin America.
