> It makes me think of all those romantic and interesting snowy places. Like in "Imperium" where the author, no stranger to cold weather, coming as he did from Pinsk in eastern Poland, perhaps now Ukraine, almost dies somewhere or other in the former USSR when he gets a house address wrong and becomes disoriented amid the snowdrifts up at street level. Clearly you have to have been brought up in some kind of hot desert to feel like this.
yeah, that sounds seriously rugged. There's only one thing to do when you're stuck in the snow, and that's keep going....and make sure you don't become a human popsicle.
I like a really good snowfall...we don't seem to get enough anymore here in New York. It was a whole new world after it snowed, and we would stay out until it was dark.
You like snow much?
