Right now is late Auttum. Crappy overcast days with 1 to 5 celcius lows and
15 to 20 celcius highs (with the occasional cold day when it does not go over
12).

Winter is july/august and its a bit colder. It has been a very dry year with
almost no rain so far. It normally rains 50 to 60 days a year, mostly
april to july.

Spring starts late september and is a slightly warmer auttum with a cold
sun that does not give too much heat.

Summer is long and dry, from november to late february. Lows are always
in the low teens and highs in the low thirties. 34 was this years max somewhere
in January...

No snow in Santiago. It does snow farther south. Its VERY wet in the middle,
and much dries up north. Chile is 3000 miles long, so we have a lot
of different weather.

And to be on topic: an hydropneumatic Citroen is a godsend in winter. This
city has a nonexistant draining system, so being able to raise the car
has gotten me out of a lot of trouble :)

I can live with that.

Indeed!

In the 14th century, a victorious Scot who had fought his way South to
Northallerton, scribbled a note to King Bruce saying his men were going
barefoot, and asking for 300 pairs of brogues.   Unfortunately the initial
letter of the operative word became indecipherable.   Consequently 600
rogues were eventually despatched to Yorkshire - and here their descendants
remain to this day.

But my little brother lives in Halifax, my dad in Sheffield, my mum in
Derbyshire - and I grew up in Sheffield and Derbyshire...

(anyway, I like it down here, so pfffft)
