We have a couple inches more snow this morning. Right now the temperature is 36 degrees and it's quite foggy outside. It's forecast to become much colder later today and for the next several days we'll be in a deep freeze. Our weather certainly has been a roller coaster lately.

Bill and Monika haven't been reunited with their luggage yet, as far as we know, but with any luck, both bags got onto a plane last night and should be arriving in Namibia sometime tonight, their time. They are seven hours ahead, so at noon here, it's already 7 p.m. there. In about two hours, we hope to hear from Bill that they have their luggage and can continue on their trip. They have many miles to travel to get to where Monika's mother lives, in Oshakati, in the northern section of the country.

Namibia is the most arid country in Africa, according to information I got on line. While Windhoek, where Bill and Monika are now, right now has a temperature of 93 degrees with a humidity of 11%, in Oshakati it is 101 with 7% humidity. Highs in Oshakati will be in the 100-105 degree range this week, and lows in the 70's. That's HOT. Fortunately, Bill generally enjoys hot weather. I sure hope they have a breeze. We'll wait and see what he has to say about it. I'm hoping to have some pictures soon, too.
