The weather in New York has been unseasonably warm this year. What about where you live?

I live in Korea. It's not that cold here, really. I saw an ajumma crossing the street tonight carrying a food tray on her head and marvelled that the metal was not freezing her bare hands.

Last year at this time we had a 40cm snow storm. This year, it's 8-10 degrees (mid-40'sF).


So much for a white Christmas. Evil or Very Mad

Blah.

What's the point of being in the Northern Hemisphere for Christmas if it isn't going to snow?! I might as well be on a beach back home.

If only last weekend was Christmas.....

Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it ... I think Mark Twain said that, or maybe Albert Speer. Or maybe Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.

Or maybe not.

Nowhere near as cold as last year. Today and yesterday were well above 0c and very tolerable. Of course in Korea this means a cold blast is round the corner, followed by days of mild again. I'm surprised how well I cope with Korean winter. Last winter there were only 4 or 5 days that were too much. Like everything else here, it's abslutely piss easy, a breeze.

The Northern Wind from Siberia has kicked in, and once again, I remember why I subconsciously shiver when I think about Seoul in winter.
