“Is it always this way in February?”

Yes. A lot of foreigners irritate me. Those who scream that they “own” Mexico or who lack respect for Mexican nationals and their customs, or who insist on running around with expressions on their faces looking like they smell something bad and refuse to answer a simple ‘good morning’ really put me off ... and I have often used this space to tell them so.

In spite of attempts to ignore it and to quit complaining about it, the truth is this winter has been cold.
