Sad Stuff

A couple of tragedies stemming from the cold weather buffeting Mexico: a local PRI boss in Hidalgo named Carlos Guzmán crashed his car in a ravine and fractured his leg this weekend; he managed to pull himself out of his car and sheltered himself under a tree, but he was unable to go for help. He was later found after having succumbed to hypothermia.

Also, corporate titan Moisés Saba died along with five others in a helicopter crash, which may or may not have been weather-related, in the state of Mexico.

It remains freezing (by Mexico standards, anyway) today, and a new cold front is forecast for later this week. Travel safely everyone.
