Dressed for the Occasion


Why are you dressed like that?  Are you going out?
No, the other long sleeved shirts are in the laundry.

If you enjoyed last nights cool temperature, then you're going to enjoy this evenings 12C (53F).

It's actually 6C warmer in Northern Thailand cities like Chiang Mai and Rai

January weather arrived three months early.  El Nino is continuing to grow...

... prepare for Thailand's version of the Ice Capades

In cold weather, dress in layers.
I spent a few years at the U.S. Army Arctic Training center, I know what I'm talking about here.
If you wear layers, you can always remove a few till feel comfortable.
  

The coldest temperature I have ever experienced was 90F below (includes wind chill), at Ft Greely, Alaska.
We were living in tents. During those times I tried to hold it in as long as I could.  
Didn't dare expose my posterior to such a windchill.

Buffalo would rub their rear ends against warm brick buildings in the winter.  Come spring we had to scrub the #$@ off the brick walls.  Not something I mention in my resume.

Next week expect rain with the cool temperatures.  Going to really feel like home for many of us.
