Winter: A Retrospective

Now that Spring is thoroughly upon us, let's look back at the photos of wintery Boston, Pittsburgh, and skiing photos that I never got around to posting.


Boston

(Boston first.)  It was so cold that the statues curled themselves into little balls to keep warm:


There were huge snowflakes:


...leading to snow accumulation.



Steam clouds at MIT:


Pittsburgh

In Pittsburgh, things were covered in ice:


There were deathsicles, and a dog named Rusty.  Unrelated.



Mount Sunapee Skiing

Ternus and I went skiing up at Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire.

 

The skiing was cheap, as there was a weekday student discount, and the slopes overlooked a beautiful frozen lake:


I was using my wonderful new skis, so I took them for a trip down the endless mogul field.



I'm still pretty bad at moguls, but I am working on it.

Happy Spring, everyone!

Boston Blizzard Photos

Snowy blogging time!


The Northeast is in the middle of a storm right now.  It hit around midnight last night.  Pretty much all the snow in these photos was been dropped in the last 15 hours.  I ventured into the blizzard for a walk, and here's what I saw!

Near the home, my housemate Karl's car and assorted other things:




The street I live on:




Everyday things covered in snow:






Columbia Street, by the basketball court:



Chunky snow:



The always-delicious Dosa Factory, still open for business in this weather:


Tunnel to Central Square:


A strangely-empty downtown:



Near the Park Street station:


Boston Common:


Not pictured: the suspiciously brown-tinted ice covering the Charles River.

The gym's closed due to weather, so I guess I'll go shovel snow for a half hour.  Stay warm!
