From the even colder roof of Japan, the Japan Alps, greetings and WELCOME to JREF !!
I'm sure spending more time indoors will help relieve some exposure to the cold, but being able to get out and about some will keep a person a bit more built up against it.
Yes, I hope you spend your days with us and join in the various conversations that interest you. By being a student here, I'm sure you are having both lots of fun, and some stress. I wish the best for you !! See you 'round. MM
