Cold Weather Warning
The Cold Weather Warning is now in force. The Hong Kong Observatory is forecasting cold weather in Hong Kong this morning. As Hong Kong is being affected by a cold winter monsoon, people are advised to put on warm clothes and to avoid adverse health effects due to the cold weather. You must also ensure adequate indoor ventilation. If you must go out, please avoid prolonged exposure to wintry winds. If you know of elderly persons or persons with chronic medical conditions staying alone, please call or visit them occasionally to check if they need any assistance. Make sure heaters are safe before use, and place them away from any combustibles. Do not light fires indoors as a means to keep warm. Whatever the temperature, please ensure that there is plenty of fresh air in your room when you are using an old-type gas water heater. DISPATCHED BY HONG KONG OBSERVATORY AT 06:02 HKT ON 29.11.2008

Okay, you poke fun, but just you wait. After you sit in class or the library or on the bus during the "cold winter monsoon" see how you feel. There may not be snow, but there is a bone chillin' dampness which is one of the coldest colds I have experienced! You better be ready!
Wow! It has been about 50 degrees here lately and it seems so warm to me for this time of year that I don't put on my coat. I love reading your blog....thanks for taking the time to keep one going.
its so interesting to read your blog. My life revolves around ways to keep warm. I don't know what I'd do if I had to live somewhere hot....
We've been insulating our windows, and making warm pjs for this winter. www.fairlen.wordpress.com
