A bunch of us just agreed that we'd meet in a couple of hours to play actual, real, live, ruthless SNOWBALL!!!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow...
Though I haven't asked them about this, I'd suspect that my Russian friends here are feeling more comfortable these days. Especially today. No, it's not snowing yet, but the National Weather Service predicts some light snow or a combination of light rain and snow for tonight.
And here I was thinking I wouldn't need a winter coat. This is supposed to a subtropical area afterall. I've seen the tropical part: excess temperatures (mostly close to or over 100 F [approx. 40 C]), choking humidity and even hurricanes. Apparently, now comes the "sub" part of subtropical. But noone warned me that this would mean "sub"zero temperatures! Today afternoon the highest was 39 F [about 7 C], while earlier this week (!) it was close to 85 F [about 30 C]. Talk about global warming! It closer to global freezing right now.
Lucky for me I developed sort of an obsession for school logoed hooded sweatshirts and not baseball caps or whatever. I have quite a collection by now and they sure come in handy.
