Practical in Winter

Tel Aviv is a mild city as far as winters go. So mild that on the sunny December/January/February days – like yesterday – people run around jacket-less.

Not so the city of Jerusalem. Want chill? Occasional snow or hailstorm? Then it’s up the road a-ways to the Golden City.

Sabra at Heart lives there and she’s feeling the chill. Lucky for us, she’s sharing.

I live in Jerusalem… a city made out of Jerusalem stones and the buildings typically do not have insulation. Do you have any idea how cold an apartment, made out of stone, no insulation and about a foot of cement that separates the outside temperature and the inside temperature can be?

I certainly hope not. It is BLOODY COLD. It takes me a month after the winter is over to warm up.

For those of you who might be sniveling throughout the cold season-I have a few helpful tips that help keep you warm. And yes, a few of these suggestions might sound a bit “ghetto” but hey, if it works who cares?

Want the tips? Then slide on over to her site.
