It’s cold here! It’s been averaging 8-10 degrees in the daytime! It gets down to 2-4 degrees at night!! And no, I am NOT a weather wimp!
\nOf course, I wouldn’t be complaining this much if I was, saaaaay, in New York City, Beijing, Tokyo (ahhh) or even in Zurich. These places are SUPPOSED to be cold!
\nBut San Francisco dun usually get this kind of cold snap. It’s been this way since mid January, save for a week of temperate weather when I got suckered into packing away the heavy duty down filled comforter because “it was warm”. Five days ago, the heavy duty down filled comforter came back out.

\nPeople in Japan have the kotatsu<\/a> to stay warm<\/a> in winter (also got kerosene heaters that I’ll never ever use). I got a fireplace.
