The snow arrived on Tuesday.
It's still here.
Along with ice.
And a cold, bitter wind.
And frankly, Shire folk aren't accustomed to riding out
this kind of winter weather.
At least not the Shire folk in this house.

But there's always a silver lining to every situation,
and if it were not for such cold,
we'd never have ice castles.
And there are some real ones out there.
For example:

Saranac Lake, New York, 1987:
Here's one of the Disney Castle, Times Square New York:

And if you really are smitten with the romance of an ice castle,
you might be able to spend the night in one.
Here's one from Quebec's Hotel de Glace

I have a feeling a couple of animal skins
just wouldn't be enough for some of us.
