Hello Hema. Welcome. It is always good to experience representation from other parts of the globe. We too are experiencing a civil war, of sorts. It gets progressively less civil as we get closer to November. It is an election year and the Elephants and Asses are at each other's throats. We expect the real fighting will get under way in a month or so. Right now each side is trying to decide who thier sacrificial lamb...I mean leader.... is going to be.
Regarding your interest in snow. Many of us experience different degrees of snow and it's effects. I don't know when the last time you were REALLY cold...but that is the first thing that comes with snow.
Hope you enjoy your time with us....
