Winter as you probably don't know it

I have never seen snow. Not outside of my television. Also, I have never been to a weather below 7° Celsius. Luckily I have never seen anything above 33° C - yet.

I don't know what foreign people think when they think of Brazil. But where I live - Brasilia - there's no beach or forest. Here in the middle of the country the weather is so crazy that it is really hard to dress up.

I mean, what do you dress when early in the morning when you go to work or school it's like 12° C, by noon and until the sunset it's around 30° C, and at night and dawn it's 12° or 10° C again? It's insane! Not to mention that if you stay outside you'll probably sweat a lot, altough staying inside you'll probably have to wear some more coats - or freeze.

For example:

Last week I wore this to go shopping with my mother. She said she wanted me to drive. Ok, I got into the car and by the first red light I had to take off my jacket - I was sweating already. Then when we got into the mall I had to put it on right away, to me it was like north pole!

So as much as I love winter fashion, I also hate it. I love tights but I mostly wear them at nights - during the day they will cook my legs. Wool coats are so beautiful, but I only have one which I wore once. Boots are forbidden during the day. Hats are like you personal sauna for your head. Only scarves are your friends - you can take them off and tuck in your bag.

But who am I trying to fool? No one resists to the charms of winter fashion. And here I am wearing tights during the day again:

Just to regret and swear that I'll never do it again - until the next time.

Autumn and spring are very much like what you describe here in Spain (at least in the heart of the country) and I hate it. Today we had about 10ºC at night and 27ºC in the afternoon, so you have to carry around a big bag and several layers, and think very well how long you'll stay outside to decide your footwear (or turn to canvas sneakers). I hope winter comes soon, please.

I'd love to have winters like you do - although if we did, I'd probably complain about them too anyway! Sure, the temperatures are relatively stable here throughout the day, but when those temperatures happen to be around -20C, I'd sure trade winters with you! :D
