it sure ain't Rio
Just watching some of the parade coverage on TV; it's 4°C with windchill down to -1, occasional flurries of light snow, and there are a bunch of girls out on O'Connell street in genuine Brazillian samba outfits, i.e. those bits of shiny metal and cloth with the square footage of a postage stamp. They're claiming that all the moving around is keeping them warm, but seriously now.
