And secondly, having the temperature being over freezing, so I didn't have to wear a jacket today!

How do you survive in such cold weather!?

Hibernation, of course. Haven't you ever watched nature documentaries? Everything in Alaska hibernates, including the sun.

That's not cold. I don't think anyone from southcentral Alaska has ever been in the 'cold'. You'd have to go up to Fairbanks or some such place.

Oh yes, we totally hibernate in the wintertime.

That is how we are on the internet in December.

I suppose you must just get used to the constant below-freezing temperatures in winter after a while.

...it's nicer in the summer. But yeah, you do get used to that. It's not so bad. The bad part is the six hours of sunlight in the winter.

Steve, it's constantly below freezing in New York as well. So the freezing point really isn't a good measure of Alaska.

I mean, tomorrow's high here is supposed to be -6 C, with snow. Today's high was around -7 C. And while it's cold, I don't consider it really cold until it hits -26 C.

I'm totally with them: if it had been above freezing, I'd have been wearing a light jacket.

Well, I meant that freezing point is a good measure of the UK. We are really quite a warm country considering our latitude.

I finally got The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún this Christmas! Yay! Though it costs over a thousand pesos, I used all my savings, plus five hundred from my brother, because I just couldn't let it pass. And I couldn't wait for the softcover edition, which was what I did with Children of Húrin.

Also, I found a copy of Ibsen's major plays and The Little Book of Matisse in a second-hand bookshop, for just less than fifty each!
