Tackling Cold Wave and other updates

For a few days, I was under the impression that I have become used to more comforts of life. That is why, the kind of cold weather that strikes every year is making me feel very uncomfortable. However, a few days back I read that Delhi has got lows of 1.9 C. Now, it is above freezing but for us, it is no less than an extreme chill. Some other days too, the lows hit around 4 or 5. The days are better at 17 to 19 C, but sunshine is lesser sometimes. We do have a hot air blower in one room but it is not always sufficient. Anyways, we have to counter the cold weather in our own ways. So extra layering and cups of tea and warm water do help. There is some relief expected in the coming days though. What's up in your part of the world?

It's cloudy today and the weather forecast is snow. It's winter and very cold here, But our house is not cold. Our house is now 20 degrees Celsius. We use coal to burn the stove. There is a radiator in the house

I'm in Florida now and glad of it. It was snowing the day we left and so cold.

@DianneN How is the weather in Florida as of now? I was wondering that I haven't seen you in action here since long. Have a nice week ahead!

Even 17 C is too cold for me. It was raining for a few days in our place but I am glad it has stopped this morning. Can't do much outside when it rains.

@lady1993 Rains have been very less in these winters so far. Once it rains in winters, it gets colder earlier on, but then the weather becomes warmer if the cloud cover persists.

@LadyDuck Stay warm. Snowfall in Mid January is normal for you?

It’s winter here and a sunny day . The temperatures in the fifties. Cool enough for a jacket. Our winters in Georgia are usually moderate but a few weeks we had an unusually cold snap.

@RubyHawk Sounds similar to what we have here. Yet I think that for most of us here, at least those living in the plains, we are used to hotter weather more than the colder one. Yet it is highly uncomfortable beyond 42 C summer temperature as well.

@sathviksouvik 9 Degrees C for Kolkata is a big challenge enough !

@sathviksouvik Well, here the weather is moderating. It was a max of around 21 C and a min of 9 to 10 C, but this could also mean early Summers!

@jstory07 Yesterday was a bit warmer and sunnier but not sure how long that weather persists.

I wonder why changeable weather brings about illness in some people. It's still hot here. Nothing changes!

@JudyEv Perhaps our bodies become adapted to the modern comforts. Plus at times if we step out from warmer place to cder outside with insufficient layering, it can also cause illness.
