The storm's moved this way.

He told me he buys his glasses online, with anti-mist/fog lenses, and they sounded so reasonable. Not a great choice of frames, but a great idea. Superb photos of icicles, hunker down, add that extra layer, and stock up on the good NZ merino gear.Do you wear a neck warmer and pull it up over your face sometimes?I have seen on the net ones made for skiers, with a shaped nose insert.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-74749967637958083162015-12-28T23:09:46.004-05:002015-12-28T23:09:46.004-05:00Your photos are both fascinating and beautiful.

I once did when I lived in the mountains, but these days, I like a break in the cold in the winter. Thank goodness we do get those mild winter days here.

Absolutely fantastic. Those are some long pine needles - ours are not nearly that long. I always marvel at how well people adjust and prepare for really cold weather. Having lived in Wisconsin and Kansas I remember how we bundled up our kids - out here in the Pacific Northwest you often see people in shorts (and heavy jackets) even on our chilly days - not me though - give me something warm and cozy - and hopefully waterproof.

I love sitting neasr our fireplace and staying warm. A little Christmas eggnog also helps!
