Just in case you didn’t notice.

Guess who’s going hiking tomorrow?
This weather is bullocks. I came to the east coast to escape it, and it still found me!
Guy
Yeah, I’m not sure which is more dispiriting when waking up this Saturday morning: the covid news or the weather forecast.
I have many fond memories of Xindian Creek, which isn’t really a creek, overflowing the banks at Bitan and watching the duck boat guys resecuring their floaty platforms while other guys stood on the submerged sidewalk and fished. I’d take the train to see it now, but it’s raining.
It is raining pretty heavily here in Xindian. And it has been raining on and off all day.
You know what? I’m not feeling very jazzed about taking my dogs on their night walks in the rain this evening after seeing these FB posts from today.
Wanli got down to 4c a few times and the four heaters in the apt only warmed it to 7c. Concrete homes are hard to heat
Unlike here where it’s currently 6c but was 3c and the rooftops and our cars are iced up
But the wooden apts are easily heated to 20c as we keep it
Well in wanli in winter we have 4 months of near constant rain of some sort mostly drizzle
I kinda like pounding rain myself the miserable drizzle is like a sniffle that won’t go away
Course 4 months of pounding rain will be Noah’s ark weather
Hope you’ve all had the chance to enjoy the nice temperatures and occasionally sunny skies today! Don’t get your hopes up for the start of the holiday.
It’s the lunar new year, aka time for some of northern Taiwan’s signature lousy winter weather!

Taiwan never fails to deliver garbage weather during LNY…
Actually last year - or was it 2020?- it was sunny … out of spite as the plague raged on.
Plenty of tickets left on the HSR. Plenty of hotels with rooms available down south.
Wonder if I could head south on the HSR just as the masses are heading back north?
Someone help me out here with an ideal day!
Guy
I saw BLUE sky!
Changed clothes, prepared to go out, it’s gone
Still glimpses of it out there. Don’t give up!
Location: Taipei City, Gongguan.

Can’t get up. Pinned down by all four cats. Help!
Turned on the dehumidifier, room at 89% humidity.
