If pure water could melt the Witch, then I think she would evaporate in Singapore...

Today, Mom and I decided to go to a Farmer's Market (if you could call it that - wine from New Zealand, root vegetables from Peru, olives from Greece - not exactly local goods...). We were smart enough to go right in the middle of the day - 1:00. Just now, at 6:30, we had to walk to pick something up. Both times we were sweatin' like dogs. So, at 6:30 pm, I googled Singapore's CURRENT weather conditions. It is only 88 degrees F. But with the 89% humidity (not fun!), it makes the "comfort level" (a terrible misnomer - this is the temp. combined with the humidity to give the temperature it FEELS like outside) as 98 degrees F!!! If that is at 6:30, I don't even want to know what the temperature was when we were admiring Italian pasta and gluten-free cupcakes!

Needless to say, I don't think Evan or I are complaining as we leave for below freezing temperatures. And although I know it is wicked cold there, I would be more than happy to trade weather!

Miss you all!

Enjoy your crisp air, wind chill, and icy sidewalks! Be thankful your clothes aren't glued to you with a layer of sweat!

Hi Janey - it was a balmy 16.2 degrees this morning. We have been so fortunate to miss many snowstorms. We have one coming mid-week though, we'll see what happens! :) Can't wait to see you in June, hopefully we'll all be warm then! Lots of love - Jane
