This week we are in extreme cold and dry in Indonesia. It is actually dry season. In hills or mountainside area, the temperature is very low. In Dieng Plateau, in my province, the temperature in the morning drops until -3 celcius. It is annual occurance. It that temperature, the dew turns to frost and it is called "embun upas" which literally means poisonous dew because the frost make many plants dead.

@Butterfingers unfortunately the area of eternal snow is shrinking and may disappear in less than 10 years. It is more than 5000 above the sea level
