Wow!
It’s 0 in Harbin right now, but will reach a balmy 8 later today.
btw , 0 is the forecast temp for Vikes Packers game at crunchy Lambeau Field.
I used to enjoy a crispyfying cold breath of air and a hot cocoa or brandy and eggnog to defrost.
Harbin festivals have had meltdowns occasionally,,, no problem this year.
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I enjoy watching the cold weather games from my nice, warm, couch.
