No Just referring in a general sense that people bitch and moan when its
110 degrees
in the shade and then when winter rolls around and its 20 below and blowing
snow they just start wishing
that it was 100 degrees again
Some people just cannot make up their minds!

"What I don't understand with you guys ...."
Hey Mike if you're referring to my previous comments in the 'you guys'
reference, it's all in jest my friend. If it gets to 20 below around here with
snow blowing it will be a first. We usually hit just below freezing at
night in winter and get a trace of snow every 5 years or so. Now that I said
that, it'll be below zero and probably have 2 foot or more for snow, hihi.
It's not that I can't take the temps being 110 plus every summer out here
in the desert (if so, I'd live on Staten Island :), but rather a nice cold
snap of under 50 degrees for a day or two would sure feel really refreshing
right about now.
Our famous catch phrase is "Well at least its a dry heat"

Ya think??? If I recall my high school geography class, summer in the
northern hemisphere would make that winter in the southern hemi. I think
Peru would be down there and at 3000 meters above sea level, wouldn't you
think it might be cold high in the mtns????
After today, I might like to be in Peru for a few days :)))

Peru Government Declares Cold Wave Emergency in 16 Regions
LIMA - The Peruvian government declared a state of emergency because of
the cold wave gripping a number of districts in the nation's 16 regions,
according to an urgent decree published Saturday in the official gazette.
The decree covers all districts of the country more than 3,000 meters
(9,800 feet) above sea level, as well as three regions in the Peruvian
jungle that have registered strangely low temperatures in the last few
weeks.
According to official figures, so far this year at least 409 people have
died of pneumonia and ailments related to the cold weather, most of them
younger than 5 years old (200 deaths) and over 60 years (158 deaths).
The emergency declaration, which has a duration of 60 days, covers
districts in the regions of Ancash, Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco,
Huancavelica, Huanuco, Junin, Lima, Moquegua, Pasco, Puno and Tacna,
which in recent days reached a temperature of -24 C (-11 F).
A state of emergency was also declared in the jungle regions of Madre de
Dios, Ucayali and Loreto.
The decree published Saturday also includes a series of measures that
will allow regional and local governments to supply the affected
populations with food and vaccines.
The armed forces were also called upon by Defense Minister Rafael Rey to
carry out civic actions to help those populations most vulnerable to the
cold.
