Thar She Blows

It's probably downright rude for us to be complaining about the weather here in Cape Town, seeing as its generally about 80 degrees Fahrenheit here and the Northeast U.S. got an early taste of snow these last few days.

But, seriously, take a look at this forecast.



Yes, those identical pictures that provide nice little graphical representations of what the weather will be for today and the whole of this week aren't little sunbeams. They're swirling wind gusts.

As in, batten down the hatches, baby. It's blustery out there.

This is apparently a typical forecast for Cape Town in the summer. As a friend told us recently: "The wind blows so much that eventually it just drives you crazy."

And then she made a cukoo face to make it clear that she was already halfway there.
