My friend living in Chicago called me up and told me about how cold it is now there. When we talked it was -2 degrees Celsius! Can you imagine how cold that is? Good thing she told me that they have a heated mattress pad to keep them warm at night, or when they feel like lying down for a while. They also have leg and arm warmers to help keep the cold out from their bodies.

I don’t know if I can live in a really cold place. I’ve grown up in a tropical country and a cold wind blowing is already a cause for us to bring out the heavy padded jackets. I get cough and colds when it’s really cold so I think I’d better stay put where I am now.
