Lol Blame, you nailed it buddy, tropical heat wave is how we see it. There's nothing like seeing people from the southern states talk about winter. If you're from the south (or Europe), I'm sorry but, you don't know the meaning of the word cold.
I read The Daily Mail all the time right (British newspaper), and I outright LAUGH when I see these articles where they're like "Brace yourselves, Englshmen, temperatures could plummet as low as -10!!"
