Heh. Of course the southern hemisphere always has the opposite season as the northern hemisphere... (but not all opposite sides of the earth act that way!) Santa and his polar opposite hopefully enjoy the cold all year round, and if there were an equatorial equivalent -- he wouldn't see any snow, ever.
This all reminds me of the polls that show highly educated people sometimes don't know why seasons exist.. and the difficulty of explaining what climate even is.

@mhhf11ve It actually makes snese that it would be hot at the opposite side of the world when it is really cold here. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a way to transport the heat to mitigate our cold. On the upside for those in the travel industry, people who crave warmer weather will take vacations to get out of the cold.
Of course, they don't then anticipate that airport problems will prevent their return as was the case at JFK. On top of all the extra people waiting around because of the canceled flights, it had a water main break, causing flooding a terminal. Everyone had to be evacuated. Now this may be somewhere IoT could help. It also should help people get the information they want about how long their flights are delayed. For that matter, train stations should be making use of that -- or just old-fashioned telecommunication phone calls. But it seems that with all our advanced technology, real time information just doesn't get through to those who really want it.

Yikes. The cold spell on the east coast seems strangely timed with the heat wave in Australia.... If only we could transport the warmth where we wanted it.

@mhhf1ve Well some people may have been able to use some coal to heat up over the severe cold snap these past couple of weeks! We had to pick up a new space heater because the standard baseboard doesn't get the house warm enough in temperatures in the 20s and below.

Thanks, Ariella! & Happy new year to everyone here.
Let's hope Santa's not bringing us coal this year....
