Wow, great photos Sandy! Having been born and raised in the south (and lived here my entire life) I've never experienced snow and ice like some of y'all get in the winter!! The amounts of snow in some places always amazes me and I love seeing the beautiful, snowy landscape pictures! It boggles my mind though to think that huge lakes like Superior, etc. can actually freeze! A few years ago we went to the Syracuse N.Y. area to visit my husbands elder brother and sister in law and we took a few days trip farther north to the St. Lawrence Waterway while we were up there. It was early June but rainy and rather chilly for this southerner and I was so shocked when someone told me that the waterway at times freezes over and that no ships can pass!! I really, really would love to have warm, heavy clothes and take a trip somewhere cold and snowy some winter ... just for a couple of days though.
