Bill,
You could not realise the relief you have brought for a few minutes with these thoughts about cold and snow.
I am in tropical north Queensland, and we are all cut-off from the rest of Australia. And the waters are falling from the sky and rising from the rivers, flash-flooding and killing. 8 dead, 72 missing, and more flash floods expected.
And the heat, the humidity, the smell, and the sandflies and mosquitoes are horrendous.
This is just terrible. I can't believe what my eyes are seeing. From years of drought to managing floodgates to prevent the devastating damage if the dams burst.
And our Janet is right in the middle of it, where the incessant rains are falling. I am just above it, and can't get anywhere because all roads are impassable.
I would give anything to feel cold for a moment, and for everything to freeze. And for a moment, it did, when I read the piece you posted.
Thanks, Bill.
Cally
