*584 - white non-christmas

Now that I'm back sizzling in the sun and humidity of our little island, wintry Ithaca seems like a distant dream from a long, long time ago. How did we survive the -25 degree cold??

Down-filled coats, puffy ski jackets, wearing 5 layers and still freezing, bracing against the burning cold, never being quite warm enough ...

... and of course, beautiful trees made of crystals, snow globe landscapes, soaring down puffy white mountains, never being quite warm enough but always toasty warm inside <3 because cold days are our days.

Bitterly cold mornings


Ice-caked cars


Branches dripping crystals


Pruning trees so they'll grow in spring!


So cold that even my poo froze


Sexy Joel?


Flying Kenneth


Just reminiscing.
Winter won't be the same again.
