Brrr! It's cold out here.

Today, after a long day of working with the kids, taking care of school assignments, meeting up with people, and gathering supplies for halloween activities for the kids later this week, I get home and find the following email in my inbox:
The Shanghai Government has issued a local cold weather warning in effect for Tuesday to Thursday.
 
Tomorrows weather could drop below 10 Degrees Celsius, due to a sudden cold snap that has come down from Northern China.  This sudden cold change will mean that many students will suffer from a cold by the end of the week.
 
Also please remember to bring a jacket with you tomorrow.
 Seriously, 10 degrees Celsius. What is that even supposed to mean? I admit, I had to pull up a temperature converter to figure out that it means below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I've been in worse, but apparently Shanghai cold is a whole different beast, at least that what everyone has been saying... We shall see!
