The Big Freeze

Sometimes I Think G-d Shows His Sense of Humor


It's Minus Two outside this window!

We awakened at the Buckhorn Inn to find frosty patterns decorating the windows. The innkeeper cheerfully announced that it was minus two outside! A little creek across the road from the inn was a frosty fantasy wonderland.

I just wonder if the Divine in his wisdom took a look at some speech on 'global warming' being carefully crafted for Tuesday's festivities and decided to take some of the fire out of it by sending a Winter of yesteryear...

I can almost hear His hearty laughter!

More icicles.


Sherando Lake in the George Washington National Forest is frozen solid all the way across. Perfect for a little ice hocky.
