The Big Freeze

Sometimes I Think G-d Shows His Sense of Humor

Big Freeze
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!

Big Freeze
A family explores the icicles along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Big Freeze
More icicles.

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