A Portuguese duck "out of water"
This is defenately NOT my "natural habitat".

Teh cold makes every bone in my leg hurt...I am not "designed" for these low temperatures....

THIS IS NUTS.....WHY WOULD PEOPLE GO THRU THIS EVERY YEAR???

WHY????

HELP........




Pretty impressed with all this snow

MY FIRST SNOW MAN...(didn't do much work on it as my hands and ass froze, so I quit)



My car so I don't slide in the snow and ice, changed my opinion about Volvo's. They are OK as a car in the snow....the Nordics got this one right...bad in the heat...





Me dressed as a "Plant man" with hard hat and all



A nice Canadian Summer bellow...



A crazy Canook...bellow with me...



Learning to do a snow ball....they told me I had to make them smaller..

I only made 3, my hands froze..

HAHA! Well, it's 59 in Portugal today, and 84 in Fort Myers. Maybe you should consider finding different clients!!!!

You guys are wusses... there's a storm due in here that is supposed to drop a foot of snow or so... I'm psyched... I love snow. BTW, Giu, snowballs are supposed to be baseball sized, not football sized or shaped.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

That's a pretty pathetic snowman attempt Giu - .

Check out where we go skiing up in Sunday River - Bethel, Maine. They have set the record for the tallest snowman in the world - you need to see this monster in person to believe it.

Alex, you might try wearing gloves. Keeps the hands a bit warmer ....... oh, and that's one with the fingers covered, not cut off.

Springtime in Alaska, we'd ski in shorts.

Giu-

A wool or fleece hat would help a lot, since 75%+ of all heat lost is from the head...and when your hair is thinning like that... you have less natural insulation...














bad dog...bad dog... I see a photoshopping in your future...

I think you may have more snow heading your way in the next few days, too.
