thanks, altitude

I live at roughly 36 degrees north latitude. That's farther south than the southernmost point of Spain; the 36th parallel crosses Algeria, Tunisia, and Pakistan, among other places.*

Today is the 28th of April.

It is snowing.



*Okay, it also crosses Tibet, which although twice as elevated as where I live, is probably more comparable. I bet it's snowing there, too.

It's not that I like hot weather. In fact I hate it. But I don't like snow either and felt the need to complain.

Elevation makes things so strange! (Most of Australia is at sea level, and none of it is as high up as you live). I hope the snow and impending heat average out and give you a nice, mild summer.

A mild summer would be nice. The good thing about high elevation and dry air is that even if it's hot as hell during the day, the nights are always cool. Houses/apartments, unfortunately, don't cool off as efficiently as the air does, unless you have very good ventilation (which I don't). But still, it's not like when I lived in Washington DC, where the summer nights were almost as hot as the days. I imagine you're familiar with that!
