Change in weather

So, yes, it snowed today, and yes, it's as bad as it looks.  I don't know what the final count is but it looks to be about 15 cm/6 in.  All the schools in the area were closed and 'most everything else was cancelled.
  It made me think about Guyana.  It's likely the first thing anyone thinks about when comparing this place and that - the weather.  No snow there, but floods; no cold weather, but high humidity.
  Vivian and I have lived in many places, and I moved around a bit before we were married.  Philadelphia in the summer is actually hotter than Guyana, and just a humid.  The fact is that humans live all over this planet, and they generally survive the experience.
  Wherever we have lived, we have always thought of the people first, and the weather second.  Guyana will be no different.  We only think about the weather now, because we don't know the people.  But that will change, I'm sure, upon our arrival.  We will enjoy meeting the people; we can get used to any weather.
