Right now, it's a clam season here in my place. What I mean with "calm" is that It's not rainy and not hot as well. On the average, the rainy season here in the Philippines starts on May up to January and the hot weather starts from February to April.

It finally started snowing here. The snow's pretty, but I prefer not to have it. I prefer the warmer weather that we were having. I hate the cold. LOL

Gosh. I hate ice. We had an icy winter about 10 years ago where we had similar weather as you're seeing. Ice, Freezing Rain, then Snow, and then Ice on top. I hope I never see that weather ever again. And I hope you don't either! Stay safe, and be careful if you use candles for light as they're so easy to knock over and start a fire.

Winter arrived here this week and it's now cold and windy as it should be in January.

I was in the Phillipine Islands during the early 1980's and you have a beautiful country. While we're complaining about the cold, you're sitting there in comfortable temperatures arounf 75 deg F with no threat of snow. During the few times I was in the PI, I don't think it was ever unconfortably hot out.
