PUEBLA, Mexico - A cold front moved over most of Mexico Wednesday, leaving coastal cities chilly and windy, and dusting mountaintop towns with snow.

In the central state of Puebla, temperatures dropped to a low of 23 degrees, and more than 100 shelters were opened for residents who live in frigid shacks.

Winter snow is not uncommon at high altitudes in Mexico, including atop the Popocatepetl Volcano outside the capital. But this week's frost dusted buildings in towns that normally don't see such cold weather.

In Mexico City, residents accustomed to 80-degree afternoon temperatures bundled up in winter coats as the mercury dropped to 40 degrees.

I went out yesterday to crank up the old p/u and I waited one day too long. She said “no thank you”. LOL

I have noted that they are using the term “Climate Change” more frequently now, instead of “Global Warming”. The former is much more generic and can cover just about anything that is out of the norm.

There are Mexicans in Mexico, too? I didn’t know.

It’s 12 degrees F of global warming here.

[SouthTexas]

I don't think it's even "bathing" weather. Time to get out the bear fat!

Had to go out earlier and I'm not going out now to see what it is!

At least it's not wet....yet.

[mylife]

She’ll start next week

Iceage? Who can tell, but I say we are going in that direction, not global warming

Hey! that gives me an idea. Let's write books, make up fake scientific data, produce documentaries, hold seminars and get everyone all freaked out about an ice age.

That'll keep the sheeple nice and confused. ;-)

[SouthTexas]

She will after I charge her up. We don't drive it enough to keep it charged up. The combination of that and the cold and all I got was click-click-click.
Which is a little better than ...click.....LOL

I’m a damn yankee. 104 in the tub dont wear off between the tub and the house, even at 10 deg

[mylife]

Yessir

[Fledermaus]

Grrrr...don’t remind me. It was 18 degrees here and I went out to the hot tub and it wasn’t working!

Now I have to call the apartment people and whine tomorrow! lol

[NormsRevenge]

snow flurries in the forecast at Daytona too..

we’re waiting for the big winds here and rain, lots of it..

[Fledermaus]

I fully believe in “Climate Change”...seems to happen four times a year.

[mylife]

I likes the hot tub when its chilly ass cold! Sit out there in tha snow and watcha football game with a snow cap and shorts and a buncha drinks.

I guess its a yankee thing

[SouthTexas]

If it drops to 10 degrees, the Mexicans will have some company.

(The ones left down south.)

[SouthTexas]

It better get it out of it's system! Ma ain't gonna like that one bit, not that it thrills me either.

We were in the mid 70s New Year's Eve.
