From the summer weather in Chile we returned home to this weather forecast:

Rain...snow and slight chance of thunderstorms. Patchy dense fog. Precipitation may be heavy at times. Visibility one quarter mile or less at times. Lows 18 to 28 above 6000 feet to 29 to 39 below 6000 feet. Snow accumulation of 12 to 20 inches. Snow level 5500 feet. Winds south 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 55 mph...becoming 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph overnight.

I guess I will put away the flip-flops and get out the snow shovel :(
