Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
I did mention to some friends that upon my arrival in Cincinnati, Ohio my manager thoughtfully presented me with borrowed stuff from his wife - coat, gloves, scarves, hats...enough that I could make a fashion statement every day of my stay here.
One thing which amused me though was the mask-like thing he also had me borrow..this time it was his hat/mask - it could cover the ears, and at the same time, protect the mouth area as it had some anti-bacterial cloth one could pull up to cover one's mouth and nose. His daughters gave it to him when he had to dig through goodness knows how much of snow in this year's blizzard.
The drawback? It reminds me of a robber about to hijack a convenience store :-)

I don't have pictures of myself wearing the other stuff, but
earlier this afternoon, I did go walking around Cinci in the cold and snow as I
wanted to take pictures of the buildings I had seen. Unfortunately, it was a
bit difficult to maneuver and juggle my camera and bags due to the gloves I had
on.
I was particularly
thankful though that I had chosen my manager's hat to use today as snow
suddenly came down, then a gust of wind every now and then completed the
afternoon's weather offering.
As a mad thought, I took out my cell and took quick pics of myself, covered face and all...don't I look warm and toasty?
Last picture here was taken where I usually get my bagels and milk for breakfast...at least last year that is what I did (I survived on this diet) - umandar yung pagka-thrifty ko and I used the balance of the money for food, buying something else....like...books...I want to go to Newport on the Levy all in a sudden din...tsk!
The temperature ranges (in Fahrenheit now) I experienced were approximately from 23 to 38 degrees. Brrrrrrr.

No wonder most people seems to be obsessed about weather here...it can make life pretty difficult - you just don't worry about food, but about the cold which could freeze you to death. At least I can now say I've experienced fall/autumn and winter-like weather...wheeeee!
