Whoa, where did winter come from?

I'm moving to Jerusalem February 1! I won't bore you all with all the details, but I'm living in a lovely apartment with two other women. It's a great location, and I like my roommates. However, I am not a fan of the weather. It's cold in Jerusalem!

The average temperatures for right now are in the 40s and 50s (F). Ashkelon is about 5-10 degrees warmer than Jerusalem, and Ramla is about 5-10 degrees warmer than Ashkelon. Thus, in the past month I've had to adjust from temperatures in the 60s to temperatures in the 40s. And by adjust, I mean that today when I walked to the grocery store I wore long underwear (top and bottom), two sweatshirts, a vest, a fleece hat, a scarf, and gloves. And super warm fuzzy socks.

I don't remember being this cold in America, where it was definitely colder. But it doesn't matter, because I get to live in Jerusalem!
